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 blade clamp, and blade. The inner blade clamp may be left on the spindle.
Installing a Blade
1.Unplug the saw.
2.With the arm raised, the lower guard held open and the guard bracket, place the blade on the spindle against the inner blade clamp with the teeth at the bottom of the blade pointing toward the back of the saw.
3.Assemble the outer blade clamp onto the spindle.
4.Install the blade screw and, engaging the spindle lock, tighten the screw firmly with wrench provided. (Turn counterclockwise,
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: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn off the tool and disconnect it from the power source before attempting to move it, change accessories or make any adjustments accept as written in laser adjustment instructions.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS lock the miter lock handle, bevel lock handle, down lock pin, and fence adjustment knob before transporting saw.
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: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn off the tool and disconnect it from the power source before attempting to move it, change accessories or make 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 measurement.) 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
