ASSEMBLY

WARNING:

To prevent accidental starting that could cause possible serious personal injury, assemble all parts to your saw completely before connecting it to power supply. Saw should never be connected to power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, installing or re- moving blades, or when not in use.

As mentioned previously your saw has been factory as- sembled and adjusted. The miter lock handle, work clamp, dust guide, and blade are the only parts that have to be installed.

MITER LOCK HANDLE

See Figure 7.

To install the miter lock handle, place the threaded stud on the end of the miter lock handle into the threaded hole in the miter table control arm. Turn clockwise to tighten.

WORK CLAMP

See Figure 8.

To install the work clamp, place the shaft of the clamp in either hole in front of the miter table base. Thread the 8 mm work clamp screw provided into the side of the base and tighten it to secure the clamp in position. Rotate the knob on the clamp to move the it in or out as needed.

WARNING:

When using the work clamp with the stop block, install the clamp on the stop block side of the blade. This will eliminate the possibility of the saw catching the loose end and kicking up. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Fig. 8

A 10 in. (254 mm) blade is the maximum blade capacity of your saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow outer blade washer to engage with the flats on the spindle. Larger blades will come in contact with the blade guards, while thicker blades will prevent the blade screw from securing the blade on the spindle. Either of these situa- tions could result in a serious accident and can cause serious personal injury.

TO INSTALL BLADE

See Figures 10, 11, and 12.

Unplug your saw.
