IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Changing or Installing a New Saw Blade (Fig. 5, 6)
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 accept as written in laser adjustment
instructions.
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.
Removing the Blade
1. Unplug the saw.
2. Raise the arm to the upper position and raise the lower guard as far as possible.
3. Loosen, but do not remove guard bracket screw until the bracket can be raised far
enough to access the blade screw. Lower guard will remain raised due to the position
of the guard bracket screw.
4. Depress the spindle lock button (Fig. 3) while carefully rotating the saw blade by hand
until the lock engages.

Bench Mounting
Holes are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting, as shown in Figure 2. (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 prevent movement.
To enhance the tool’s portability, it can be mounted to a piece of 1/2" (12.7 mm) 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 surely
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.
