2. Allow the cutting head to rise to the upright position.
Loosen the cover plate screw (2) with a screwdriver.
3. Raise the lower blade guard (1) to the up position. (Fig. G)
4. Rotate the cover plate (3) towards the rear of the tool to
expose the arbor bolt (4).

INSTALL OR REMOVING SAW BLADE (FIG.G,H)
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged
before installing or removing the blade. Accidental start up
of the tool may result in serious personal injury.
• Use socket wrench to install or remove the blade. Failure to
use the wrench may result in overtightening or insufficient
tightening of the hex bolt and serious personal injury.

FIG. H
To install the blade
1. Unplug the miter saw before changing/installing the blade.
2. Install a 12 in. (305 mm) blade with a 1 in. (25.4 mm) arbor, making sure the rotation arrow on
the blade matches the clockwise rotation arrow on the upper guard and the blade teeth are pointing
downward.
3. Place the blade collar (6) against the blade and on the arbor. Thread the arbor bolt (4) onto the
arbor (Fig.H) in a counterclockwise direction.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the flats of the blade collars are engaged with the flats on the arbor
shaft. Also the flat side of the blade collar must be placed against the blade.
4. Place the blade wrench on the arbor bolt.
5. Press the arbor lock holding it in firmly while turning the blade counterclockwise. When arbor
lock engages continue to press it in while tightening the arbor bolt securely.
6. Rotate the cover plate (3) back to its original position until the slot in the cover plate engages with
the cover plate screw (2). While holding the lower blade guard tighten the screw with a screw driver.
(Fig. G)
NOTE:
The lower blade guard must be raised to the upright position to access the cover plate screw.
7. Lower the blade guard (1) and verify that the operation of the guard does not bind or stick.
8. Be sure the arbor lock is released so the blade turns freely.
CAUTION
• To avoid injury never use the saw without the cover plate secure 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.
• 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.
• 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.
