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.

be placed against the blade.

Place the hex end of blade wrench (D) on the
arbor bolt (6).
ŏ
Press the arbor lock button (7), holding it in
¿UPO\ZKLOHWXUQLQJWKHEODGHFRXQWHUFORFNZLVH
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.
