Installing the Blade (Fig. M, N, O)
WARNING:
Un-plug the miter saw before changing/
installing the blade.
1. Install a 10 in. blade with a 5/8 in. arbor hole, making
sure the rotation arrow on the blade matches the
clockwise rotation arrow on the upper guard, and the
blade teeth are pointing downward at the front of the
saw.
2. Place the blade
30
onto the arbor
32
and against the
inner blade collar
31
. Then, place the outer blade
collar
29
and thread the arbor bolt
27
counterclockwise onto the arbor. (Fig. O)
iMPORTAnT:
The flat side of the blade collars must be
placed against the blade. Do not install the collars with
the curved side against the blade.
3. Place the blade wrench on the arbor bolt
27
.
4. Press the arbor lock button
28

5. Rotate the cover plate
26
back to its original position
and tighten the cover plate screw
25
with a Phillips
screwdriver. (Fig. M)
6. Lower the blade guard

back to its original position.
7. Pull the switch handle down and up several times
to confirm the lower blade guard operates without
binding.
8. Be sure the arbor lock button
28
is released so the
blade turns freely. (Fig. N)
WARNING:
To avoid injury, never use the saw without
the cover plate secure 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.
WARNING:
If the cover plate is not secure in its proper
place, the guard may contact the spinning saw blade,
resulting in damage to the saw and severe personal
injury.
WARNING:
Make sure the collars are clean and
properly arranged. Lower the blade into the table and
check for any contact with the metal base or the saw
table.
WARNING:
ALWAYS MAKE DRY RUNS
(UNPOWERED) BEFORE FINISH CUTS SO THAT
YOU CAN CHECK THE PATH OF THE BLADE AND
THE OPERATION OF THE GUARDS. DO NOT CROSS
HANDS.
Removing And Installing The Table Insert
(Fig. P)
WARNING:
To avoid injury:
• Always unplug the saw to avoid accidental starting.
Remove all small pieces of material from the table cavity
before performing any cuts. The table insert may be
removed for this purpose, but always reattach the table
insert prior to performing a cutting operation.
