Your saw is capable of cutting baseboard moldings held vertically 20 mm (0.8") thick by 171 mm (6.75") tall on a 

45º right or left miter, when using the slide lock lever (Fig. 13).

Familiarization (fig. 1, 9)

Your miter saw is fully assembled in the car ton. 
Examine figure 1 to become familiar with the saw and its various parts. The section on adjus tments will refer to 

these terms and you must know what and where the parts are.

CAUTION: 

Risk of personal injury. Keep thumb underneath handle when pulling handle down otherwise thumb 

may be pinched between handle and moving lower guard. The handle is placed close to the guard for special cuts.
  1. Open the box and lift the saw out by the con venient carrying handle (D),   

FIG. 9

 

as shown in figure 9.

  2. Place the saw on a smooth, flat surface.
  3. Release the rail lock knob (G), and push the saw head back to lock it in 

the rear position.

  4. Press down lightly on the operating handle (C) and pull out the lock down 

pin (L).

  5. Gently release the downward pressure and hold the operating handle, 

allowing it to rise to its full height.

Bench Mounting (fig. 1)

Holes (R) are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting. Two different-sized holes are provided to 

accommodate different sizes of screws. Use either hole; it is not necessary to use both.
Always mount your saw firmly to a stable surface to prevent movement. To enhance the tool’s portability, it can 

be mounted to a piece of 12.7 mm (1/2") or thicker plywood which can then be clamped to your work support or 

moved to other job sites and reclamped.

NOTE: 

If you elect to mount your saw to a piece of plywood, make sure that the mounting screws don’t protrude 

from the bottom of the wood. The plywood must sit flush on the work support. When clamping the saw to any 

work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses where the mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at any 

other point will interfere with the proper operation of the saw.

CAUTION: 

To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the mounting surface is not warped or otherwise uneven. 

If the saw rocks on the surface, place a thin piece of material under one saw foot until the saw sits firmly on the 

mounting surface.

Changing or Installing a New Saw Blade (Fig. 10A-10C)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn off the tool and disconnect it from the power 

source before attempting to move it, change accessories or make any adjustments.

CAUTION:

•  Never depress the spindle lock button while the blade is under power or coasting.
•   Do not cut ferrous metal (containing iron or steel) or masonry or fiber cement product with this miter 

saw.

NOTE: 

The blade guard on your saw will automatically raise when the head up-lock release lever (i) is pushed and 

the arm is brought down; it will lower over the blade as the arm is raised.

REMOVING THE BLADE

  1. Unplug the saw.
  2. Raise the arm to the upper position and raise the lower guard (A) as far as possible.
  3. Loosen, but do not remove guard bracket screw (B) until the bracket can be raised far enough to access the 

blade screw (PP). Lower guard will remain raised due to the position of the guard bracket screw.

  4. Depress the spindle lock button (QQ) while carefully rotating the saw blade by hand until the lock engages.
  5. Keeping the button depressed, use the other hand and the wrench provided (CC) to loosen the blade screw. 

(Turn clockwise, left-hand threads.)

  6. Remove the blade screw (PP), outer clamp

washer (RR), blade (SS) and blade adapter (I), 

if used. The inner clamp washer (TT) may be 

left on the spindle.

NOTE:

 For blades with a blade hole of 15.88 mm 

(5/8"), the 25.4 mm (1") blade adapter (I) is not 

used.

INSTALLING A BLADE

  1. Unplug the saw.
  2. With the arm raised, the lower guard held open 

and the guard bracket raised, place the blade 
on the spindle, onto the blade adapter (if using 
a blade with a 1" [25.4 mm] diameter blade 
hole) and against the inner blade clamp with 
the teeth at the bottom of the blade pointing 
toward the back of the saw.

  3. Assemble the outer clamp washer onto the 

spindle.

  4. Install the blade screw and, engaging the spindle lock, tighten the screw firmly with wrench provided (turn 

counterclockwise, left-hand threads).
