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 blade clamp onto thespindle.

4. Install the blade screw

23

and, engaging the spindle lock, tighten the screw firmly with the

6mm hex 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

36

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 spinning saw blade resulting

in damage to the saw and severe personalinjury.

Miter Scale Adjustment (Fig. F)

Place a square against the saw’s fence and blade. (Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with

the square. To do so will cause an inaccurate measurement.) Unlock miter lock knob

5

and

swing the miter arm until the miter detent latch locks it at the 0˚ miter position. Do not lock

miter lock knob. If the saw blade is not exactly perpendicular to the base fence

18

, loosen the

three miter scale screws

8

that hold the miter scale

7

to the base and move the scale/miter arm

assembly left or right until the blade is perpendicular to the fence, as measured with the square.

Retighten the three screws. Pay no attention to the reading of the miter pointer at thispoint.

Miter Pointer Adjustment (Fig. A, F, G)

Unlock miter lock knob

5

and squeeze the miter detent latch

6

to move the miter arm to the

zero position. Unlock the miter lock knob to allow the miter detent latch to snap into place as

you rotate the miter arm toward zero. Observe the pointer

28

and miter scale

7

through the

viewing opening shown in FigureG. If the pointer does not indicate exactly zero, loosen the

pointer screw, adjust the pointer to 0˚ andretighten.

Bevel Square to Table (Fig. A, H)

To align the blade square to the rotary table, lock the arm in the down position. Place a square

against the blade taking care to not have the square on top of a tooth. Loosen the bevel lock

knob

5

and ensure the arm is firmly against the 0° bevel stop. Move the 0° bevel stop adjusting

screw

19

as necessary so that the blade is at 0° bevel to the table. Ensure the bevel override

levers are pushed inward to obtain an accurateadjustment.
