ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always install the blade with the blade teeth and the
arrow printed on the side of the blade pointing down at the
front of the saw. The direction of blade rotation is also
stamped with an arrow on the upper blade guard.
Tighten blade bolt securely.
Replace the lower blade guard and blade bolt cover.
Replace screw B and tighten securely.
Retighten screw A securely.
WARNING:
Make sure the spindle lock button is not engaged before
reconnecting saw into power source. Never engage
spindle lock button when blade is rotating.
ADJUSTMENTS
Your compound miter saw has been adjusted at the factory
for making very accurate cuts. However, some of the com-
ponents might have been jarred out of alignment during
shipping. Also, over a period of time, readjustment will
probably become necessary due to wear. After unpacking
your saw, check the following adjustments before you begin
using saw. Make any readjustments that are necessary and
periodically check the parts alignment to make sure that your
saw is cutting accurately.
WARNING:
Your saw should never be connected to power supply
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
installing or removing blades, or when not in use.
Disconnecting your saw will prevent accidental starting
that could cause serious injury.
Note:
Many of the illustrations in this manual show only
portions of your compound miter saw. This is intentional so
that we can clearly show points being made in the illustra-
tions. Never operate your saw without all guards securely in
place and in good operating condition.
