Installing Blade

Important: This machine requires a 12-inch diameter blade.

Unplug the miter saw before changing and/or installing the blade.

Referring to Figure 7:

1.Install a 12 in. blade with a 5/8 in. arbor (or a 1 in. arbor with a 5/8 in. reducer) making sure the rotation arrow on the blade matches the clockwise rotation arrow on the upper guard, and the blade teeth are pointing downward.

2.Place the arbor collar (G) against the blade and on the arbor. Thread the arbor bolt (H) on the arbor in a counterclockwise direction.

Important: Make sure that the flat edge inside the blade collar opening is aligned with the flat edge on the arbor shaft. Also, the flat -side of the arbor collar (G) must be placed against the blade (J).

3.Place the blade wrench on the arbor bolt (H).

4.Press the arbor lock (E), holding it in firmly while turning the blade counterclockwise (opposite the cutting direction of the blade). When it engages, continue to press the arbor lock (E) in, while tightening the arbor bolt (H) securely.

5.Rotate the cover plate (B) back to its original position until the slot in the cover plate engages with the cover plate screw (C). While holding the lower blade guard (A) up as shown, tighten the screw (C) with a cross-point screwdriver.

6.Lower the retractable blade guard (A) and verify that the operation of the guard does not bind or stick.

7.Turn the blade to disengage the arbor lock (E); then verify that the blade will spin freely.

Never use the saw without the

 

cover plate securely in place. Failure to comply

 

may cause serious injury!

 

The cover plate keeps the arbor bolt from falling out

 

if it accidentally loosens, and helps prevent the

 

spinning blade from coming off the saw.

Figure 7

 

Verify that the collars are clean

 

and properly installed. Lower the blade into the

 

table and verify that it does not come in contact

 

with the metal base or the turn table. Failure to

 

comply may cause serious injury!
