Table Inserts

Always unplug the saw to avoid accidental starting. Failure to comply may cause serious injury!

!Remove table insert to remove all small pieces of debris from the table cavity before performing any cuts.

!Be sure to reattach the table insert prior to performing a cutting operation.

Do not start the saw without checking for interference between the blade and table insert.

Damage could result to the blade, table insert or turntable if blade strike occurs during the cutting operation.

To remove:

1.Loosen and remove six screws on the table inserts (see page 10) with a crosspoint screwdriver

2.Remove the inserts.

To install:

3.Reposition the table inserts.

4.Install the six screws and tighten.

Check for blade clearance by moving the slide carriage through the full motion of the blade in the table slot.

Mounting the Saw

Observe the following safety measures to avoid injury form unexpected saw movement:

Disconnect the power cord and lock the cutting head in the lower position.

Lock the slide carriage in place.

When lifting:

Use the carrying handles on the top of the saw.

Bend at the knees, not from the back.

Clamp or bolt the saw on a level work surface. For stationary use:

Select a location for the saw, such as the top of a workbench, making sure to provide sufficient room for handling the workpiece. Secure the saw to the bench.

Mounting hardware is not included and must be purchased separately.

For portable use:

Place the saw on a 3/4 in. thick piece of plywood and bolt the base securely to the plywood using the mounting holes on the base. Mounting hardware is not included and must be purchased separately.

Use C-clamps to clamp this mounting board to a stable work surface at the worksite.

Removing the Blade

Disconnect power and make sure the switch is in the OFF position to avoid accidental starts. Failure to comply may cause serious injury!

Referring to Figure 7:

1.Unplug the saw from the outlet.

2.Raise the miter saw to the upright position.

3.Raise the lower clear plastic blade guard (A) to the uppermost position.

4.While holding the lower blade guard, loosen the cover plate screw (C) with a crosspoint screwdriver.

5.Rotate the cover plate (B) to expose the arbor bolt (H).

6.Place the blade wrench over the arbor bolt (H).

7.Locate the arbor lock (E) on the motor, below the belt cover (D).

8.Press the arbor lock, holding it in firmly while turning the blade clockwise. The arbor lock will then engage and lock the arbor. Continue to hold the arbor lock, while turning the wrench clockwise to loosen the arbor bolt.

9.Remove the arbor bolt (H), arbor collar (G), and blade (J). Do not remove the inner blade collar.

10.Raise the lower clear plastic blade guard (A) to the upright position to remove the blade.

Note: Pay attention to the pieces removed, noting their position and direction they face. Wipe the blade collars clean of any sawdust before installing a new blade. Also, the 12 in. blade has a 1 in. arbor hole with a 5/8 in. reducer (F) to mount onto the saw.
