7-1/4 in. BLADE
A 7-1/4 in. blade is included with the compound miter saw.
It will cut materials up to 1-1/2 in. thick or 4-1/4 in. wide,
depending upon the angle at which the cut is being made.
BEVEL LOCK KNOB
The bevel lock knob securely locks your compound miter
saw at desired bevel angles. Loosen the bevel lock knob
to release the saw allowing the blade to be tilted for bevel
cuts. Tighten the knob to lock the saw in place. Positive stop
adjustment screws are located on each side of the saw arm.
These adjustment screws are for making fine adjustments
at 0° and 45°.
BLADE WRENCH STORAGE
A blade wrench is packed with the saw. One end of the
wrench is a phillips screwdriver and the other end is a hex
key. Use the hex key end when installing or removing blade
and the phillips end when removing or loosening screws. A
storage area for the blade wrench is located in the saw's base.

miter saw. When used properly, the laser guide makes
accurate, precision cutting simple and easy.
