the arbor. Thread the arbor bolt (4) onto the arbor in a
anti-clockwise direction. (Fig. J)

WARNING
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
.
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
.
•
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
.
•
Do not start the sliding compound miter saw without
checking for interference between the blade and
table insert. Damage could result to the blade, table
insert or turntable if blade strike occurs during
the cutting operation
.
1. To remove, loosen and remove the six screws (1) on the
table insert (2) with a Phillips screwdriver and remove
the insert.
2. To install, reposition the table insert, install the six screws
and tighten.
3. Check for blade clearance by moving the slide carriage
through the full motion of the blade in the table slot.
