● 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.
● 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.
● 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.
● Never cut metals or masonry products with this tool. This miter saw is designed for use on wood
and wood-like products only.
WARNING
INSTALLING BLADE (FIG. 11, 12, 13
)
Unplug the miter saw before changing/installing
the blade.
● Install a 7-1/4 in. blade with a 5/8 in. arbor,
making sure the rotation arrow on the blade
matches the clockwise rotation arrow on the
upper guard.
● Place the blade collar (6) against the blade
and on the arbor. Thread the arbor bolt (4)
onto the arbor (Fig. 13) in a counterclockwise
direction.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the flats of the
blade collars are engaged with the flats on
the arbor shaft. Also, the flat side of the blade
collar must be placed against the blade.
● Place the blade wrench on the arbor bolt.
● Press the arbor lock button (5), holding
it in firmly while turning the blade
counterclockwise. When arbor lock engages,
continue to press it in while tightening the
arbor bolt securely (Fig. 12).
● Rotate the cover plate (3) back to its original
position until the slot in the cover plate
engages with the cover plate screw (2). While
holding the lower blade guard, tighten the
screw with a Phillips screwdriver (Fig. 11).
NOTE: The lower blade guard must be raised
to the upright position to access the cover
plate screw.
Lower the blade guard (1) and verify that the
operation of the guard does not bind or stick
(Fig. 11).
● Be sure the arbor lock is released so the
blade turns freely before operating the saw.
