As shown in Figure 6 the inner clamp washer is installed first, then the blade adapter. The blade adapter is designed to permit the use of saw blades with 1" arbor holes as well as those with 5/8" arbor holes.

When using blades with 1" arbor holes, install the blade adapter over the spindle shaft and against the inner clamp washer, as shown in the figure. Next, install the saw blade making sure that the arbor hole in the blade fits on the blade adapter. Make sure that the teeth at the bottom of the blade are pointing toward the back of the saw (away from the operator). Install the outer clamp washer and install the blade screw. Tighten firmly using the spindle lock and the provided wrench (left hand threads). When using saw blades with 5/8" arbor holes, remove the blade adapter! Save it in a safe place for future use. The rest of the blade assembly is exactly the same.

NEVER DEPRESS THE SPINDLE LOCK PIN WHILE THE BLADE IS ROTATING.

BE SURE TO HOLD THE GUARD BRACKET DOWN AND FIRMLY TIGHTEN THE GUARD BRACKET SCREW WHEN YOU FINISH INSTALLING THE SAW BLADE. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE SAW.

Installing Extension Kit

Side Table Extension (Some Models)

BE SURE TO OBSERVE ALL OF THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN YOUR MITER SAW INSTRUCTION MANUAL.

UNPLUG THE MITER SAW BEFORE INSTALLING, ADJUSTING OR REMOVING THE EXTENSION KIT.

The extension kit can be used on either or both sides of the saw. The supplied extension kit is factory installed on the left side:

1.Install the self-tapping stud into the hole underneath the saw.

2.Install extension tube as shown (Fig. 2) making sure the clamping bracket will catch the legs.

3.Tighten clamping bracket against the legs.

Transporting the Saw

TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE MITER SAW BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE IT OR MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS WHAT-SO-EVER!

In order to conveniently carry the miter saw from place to place, a carrying handle has been included on the top of the saw arm, as shown in Figure 3. To transport the saw, lower the arm and depress the lock down pin shown in Figure 4.

Adjustments

PERFORM ALL ADJUSTMENTS WITH THE MITER SAW UNPLUGGED

NOTE: Your miter saw is fully and accurately adjusted at the factory at the time of manufacture. If readjustment due to shipping and handling or any other reason is required, follow the steps below to adjust your saw.

Once made, these adjustments should remain accurate. Take a little time now to follow these directions carefully to maintain the accuracy of which your saw is capable.

MITER SCALE ADJUSTMENT –

Place a square against the saw’s fence and blade, as shown in Figure 8. (Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square. To do so will cause an inaccurate measurement.) Loosen the miter clamp knob (see Fig. 9) and swing the miter arm until the miter latch locks it at the 0 miter position. Do not tighten the clamp knob. If the saw blade is not exactly perpendicular to the fence, loosen the three screws that hold the miter scale to the base (shown in Fig. 9) and move the scale/miter arm assembly left or right until the blade is perpendicular to the fence, as measured with the square. Retighten the three screws. Pay no attention to the reading of the miter pointer at this point.

MITER POINTER ADJUSTMENT

Loosen the miter clamp knob and squeeze the miter latch to move the miter arm to the zero position, as shown in Figure 9. With the miter clamp knob loose allow the miter latch to snap into place as you rotate the miter arm past zero. Observe the pointer and miter scale

WARNING: Do not lift, support, or carry the miter saw by the extension kit. To do so may cause tipping and loss of control, leading to personal injury. NOTE: Before transporting the saw, remove the extension or telescope it into the base.

Rear Lower Guard Adjustment

Check the rear lower guard to ensure that it is located such that the saw blade is in the center and equidistant

through the viewing opening shown in Figure 10. If the pointer does not indicate exactly zero, gently pry it left or right using a flat bladed screwdriver.

BEVEL SQUARE TO TABLE

To align the blade square to the rotary table, lock the arm in the down position. Place a square against the blade taking care to not have the square on top of a tooth, as shown in Figure 11B. Loosen the Bevel Clamp
