Installing a Blade

1. Unplug the saw.

2. With the arm raised, the lower guard held open and the pivot plate 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 clamp washer 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.)

NOTE: When using blades with a 5/8" (15.88 mm) diameter blade hole, the blade adapter

will not be used and should be stored in a safe place for future use.

5. Return the guard bracket to its original position and firmly tighten the guard bracket

screw to hold bracket in place.

WARNING:

• The guard bracket must be returned to its original position

and the screw tightened before activating the saw.

• Failure to do so may allow the guard to contact the spin-

ning saw blade resulting in damage to the saw and severe

personal injury.

it, changing accessories or making any adjustments accept as written in laser adjustment

In order to conveniently carry the miter saw from place to place, a carrying handle has
