Grounding Instructions
1.
(SEE FIGURE 1)
All grounded, cord
connected tools: In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric
cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into a matching outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
2. Do not modify the plug provided –if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
3. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
4. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
5. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator.
There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
6. Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electrical shock.
Extension Cords
1. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate Ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
2. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W".
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electrical shock.
3. Use only UL listed extension cords. Inspect extension cord before use and never use damaged
or altered extension cords. Follow extension cord manufactures safety instruction.
4. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles
that accept the tool’s plug.
5. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from the outlet.
6. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electrical shock.

Use the wrench, turn the
blade bolt (1)
clockwise
to loosen. Unscrew
and remove the bolt.
NOTE:
The spindle bolt has LEFT HAND threads
- clockwise to loosen / counterclock-
wise to tighten.
6. Release pressure on the spindle Lock.
7. Remove the outer flange washer (2) and saw
blade (3).
8. Install the new Saw Blade, making sure the
teeth of the Saw Blade are pointing downward.
WARNING:
Only use 10” diameter replacement
blades with a 5/8” arbor hole and an operation
rating of at least 5,000 RPM
CAUTION:
Make sure the teeth of the saw
blade point downward and that the direction
of the arrow shown on the saw blade matches
the direction of the arrow shown on the
cover case.
CAUTION:
Do not remove the inner
flange washer
9. Reassemble the outer flange washer and
blade bolt.
10. Depress the spindle lock button. Using the
wrench, turn the blade bolt
counterclockwise
to tighten.
11. Swing the blade guard and bracket assembly
back into place, making sure the safety cover
covers the saw blade.
12. Using the wrench tighten blade guard
retaining bolt.
13. Make sure the safety cover returns to its
original position prior to operating miter saw.
