5.Keeping the button depressed, use the other hand and the wrench provided to loosen the blade screw. (Turn clockwise,
6.Remove the blade screw, outer clamp washer, and blade. The 1" (25.4 mm) blade adapter, if used, and the inner clamp washer, may be left on the spindle.
NOTE: For blades with a blade hole of 5/8" (15.88 mm), the 1" (25.4 mm) blade adapter is not used.
Installing a Blade
1.Unplug the saw.
2.With the arm raised, the lower guard held open and the pivot plate raised, place the blade on the spindle, onto the blade adapter [if using a blade with a 1" (25.4 mm) diameter blade hole] and against the inner clamp washer with the teeth at the bottom of the blade pointing toward the back of the saw.
3.Assemble the outer clamp washer onto the spindle.
4.Install the blade screw and, engaging the spindle lock, tighten the screw firmly with wrench provided. (Turn counterclockwise,
NOTE: When using blades with a 5/8" (15.88 mm) diam- eter blade hole, the blade adapter will not be used and should be stored in a safe place for future use.
5.Return the guard bracket to its original position and firmly tighten the guard bracket screw to hold bracket in place.
WARNING:
•The guard bracket must be returned to its original position and the screw tightened before activating the saw.
•Failure to do so may allow the guard to contact the spinning saw blade resulting in damage to the saw and severe personal injury.
Transporting the Saw
WARNING: Turn off tool and disconnect from power source before attempting to move it, changing acces- sories or making any adjustments accept as written in laser adjustment instructions.
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
WARNING: Turn off tool and disconnect from power source before attempting to move it, changing acces- sories or making any adjustments accept as written in laser adjustment instructions.
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 7. (Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with the square. To do so will cause an inaccurate mea- surement.) Unlock miter lock lever (see Fig. 8) and swing the miter arm until the miter detent locks it at the 0˚ miter position. Do not lock miter lock lever. 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. 8) 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
Unlock miter lock lever and squeeze the miter detent to move the miter arm to the zero position, as shown in Figure 8. Unlock the miter lock lever to allow the miter detent to snap into place as you rotate the miter arm past zero. Observe the pointer and miter scale through the viewing opening shown in Figure 9. If the pointer does not indicate exactly zero, loosen the pointer screw, adjust the pointer to 0˚ and retighten.
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 10B. Loosen the Bevel Clamp Knob so that you can move the Bevel Arm. Move the Bevel Arm as necessary so that the blade is at 0° bevel to the table. If the Bevel Arm needs adjustment, loosen the lock nut on the right side Bevel Stop as shown in Figure 11, and adjust the stop screw as necessary. Hold the stop screw in place and tighten the lock nut.
BEVEL POINTER
If the bevel pointer does not indicate zero, loosen the screw that holds it in place and move the pointer as necessary. SUGGESTION: For accuracy, set the top edge so that it aligns with zero.
BEVEL STOP
To set the 45° bevel stop shown in Figure 12, first loosen the left side fence clamping knob and slide the left side fence as far as it will go to the left. Move the arm to the left until it stops on the left bevel stop screw. If the bevel pointer does not indicate exactly 45°, loosen the left side bevel stop lock nut and turn the screw downwards. Move the arm to the left and tighten the bevel clamp knob firmly when the bevel pointer indicates exactly 45°. Adjust the left side bevel stop screw upwards until it firmly touches the bevel stop. Retighten the nut while holding the screw from turning.
