Installing Blade (Fig. H, I, J)
Unplug the miter saw before changing/installing the
blade.
I. Install a I 0 in. blade with a 5/8 in. 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.
2. Place the outer blade collar (8) against the blade and
on the arbor. Thread the arbor bolt (6) onto the arbor
(Fig. J) in a counterclockwise direction.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the flats of the blade collars
are engaged with the flats on the arbor shaft.
3. Place the blade wrench on the arbor bolt.
4. Press the arbor lock (5), holding it in firmly while
turning the blade counterclockwise. When arbor lock
engages, continue to press it in while tightening the
arbor bolt securely.
5. 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 Phillips screwdriver. (Fig. H)
NOTE: The lower blade guard must be raised to the
upright position to access the cover plate screw.
6. Lower the blade guard (1) and verify that the
operation of the guard does not bind or stick. (Fig. H)
7. Be sure the arbor lock is released so the blade turns
freely.
[A wARN.'JGI
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 base or the
miter table by spinning the blade manually.
[A WAR.INGI
For your own safety, never connect the plug to
power source outlet until all the adjustment steps
are complete and you have read and understood the
safety and operational instructions.
