CHANGING THE SAW BLADE
DANGER!
Never try to use a blade larger than the stated capacity of the
saw. Do not use a blade thicker than 1.9mm. It will prevent the blade
screw from properly securing the blade on the spindle. Install the suitable
blade for your cutting operation.
1. Unplug the tool from its power source. Place a piece of paper on the
miter table to catch the screws.
2. Lift the saw arm to the upper position and lock it in place. Raise the
lower blade guard (Fig. 13 - 2) out of the way and hold it up. Loosen the
lower blade guard screw (Fig. 14 - 1) with a Phillips-head screwdriver
(not included) until it disengages the guard plate (Fig. 14 - 2). Swing the
guard plate up and out of the way.
NOTE:
the safety guard does not need
to be taken off from the saw.
3. Firmly press down the saw spindle lock (p. 11 - Q) on the back of the
saw's head and hold it in. Use the 13mm box-end wrench to turn the ar-
bor bolt (Fig. 15) clockwise and remove it (the bolt is left-hand threaded),
remove outer flange (Fig. 16 - 4), and arbor insert (Fig. 16 - 2). Make sure
the inner flange (Fig. 16 - 5) stays in place on the spindle (Fig. 16 - 6).
4. Slowly remove the blade by pulling it out and down. Clean the arbor
bolt (Fig. 15 - 3), outer flange (Fig. 15 - 4), and arbor insert (Fig. 15 - 2).
5. Place the arbor insert (Fig. 16 - 2) onto the spindle (Fig. 16 - 6). Place
the new blade over the arbor insert.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the blade's rotation arrow points in the same
direction as the rotation arrow on the upper blade guard (Fig. 16 - 7).
6. Reinstall the outer flange and arbor bolt. Hold down the spindle lock
and tighten the arbor bolt with the 13mm box-end wrench, turning it
counterclockwise. Release the spindle lock.
7. Return the guard plate (Fig. 14 - 2) back into place, and secure it with
the guard plate screw (Fig. 14 - 1).
IMPORTANT:
Carefully rotate the saw blade and make sure that it does
not wobble. Lower the saw arm and check if the blade spins freely in the
table insert in both perpendicular and 45° angles. Make sure the lower
blade guard operates properly before using the saw.
ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
Do not plug in or turn on the tool until it is fully assembled according to the instructions. Read
through and become familiarized with the following procedures of handling and adjusting your miter saw. Failure
to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury. Wear gloves while changing the blade.
