MAINTENANCE
REPLACING SAW BLADE
WARNING:
Prior to performing any assembly and/or adjustment procedures,
make sure the power cord is unplugged from its electrical outlet. Make sure
the unit has completely cooled, and wear heavy-duty work gloves.
ENGLISH
1. When replacing the saw blade, make sure the new saw blade has a diameter
of 10” (255 mm), a minimum rating of 6,000 RPM and an arbor hole of 5/8”
(15.9 mm) diameter.
2. When installing a saw blade, make sure the teeth of the saw blade point downward,
and that the direction of the arrow shown on the cover case (See Fig. 4)
3.Lock the saw blade in its upward position. To do so, pull out on the cross pin. Raise and
hold the cover case of the mitre saw fully upward. Then, insert the cross pin into
a little space in its locked position. (See. Fig 5&6 )
CAUTION :
The cross pin should always be activated in the “locked down”
position when the saw is not being transported. The cross pin should be
activated in the “locked up” position only when changing saw blades.
NEVER use the cross pin in any cutting operation. The cross pin
allows the operator to lock the saw blade in position, preventing the
saw blade raised or lowered.
4. Loosen the screws that hold the large cover and safety cover in place.
Then, use a screwdriver to remove the screws. (See Fig. 7)
5. Rotate the large cover and safety cover up and out of the way. (See Fig. 7)
