INSTALLING THE BLADE

(FIG. 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

Unplug the miter saw before changing/installing the

blade.

ŏ Install a 12 in. blade with a 1 in arbor, using the

provided blade insert sleeve (11) to match the

5/8 in motor arbor. Make sure the rotation arrow

on the blade matches the clockwise rotation

arrow on the upper guard.

ŏ Place the outer blade collar (8) against the blade

and on the arbor. Thread the arbor bolt (6) onto

the arbor in a counterclockwise direction.

When arbor lock engages, continue to

press it in while turning the blade wrench

counterclockwise, tightening the arbor bolt

securely.

ŏ Rotate the lower blade guard (2) to its up

position. The cover plate should move to its

original position.

Then tighten the cover plate

screw (3) with the phillips head end of provided

blade wrench.

ŏ Lower the blade guard (1) and verify that the

operation of the guard does not bind or stick.

ŏ Be sure the arbor lock is released so the blade

turns freely before operating the saw.

ŏ To avoid injury, never use the saw without the

cover plate securely in place. It keeps the arbor

bolt from falling out if it accidentally loosens and

helps prevent the spinning blade from coming

off the saw.

ŏ Make sure the collars are clean and properly

arranged. Lower the blade into the lower table

and check for any contact with the metal base

or the miter table.

ŏ To avoid injury from an accidental start, make

sure the switch is in the OFF position and the

plug is not connected to the power source

outlet.
