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.
Mitre 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 mitre lock knob
swing the mitre arm until the mitre detent latch locks it at the 0˚ mitre position. Do not lock
mitre lock knob. If the saw blade is not exactly perpendicular to the base fence

Mitre Pointer Adjustment (Fig. A, F, G)
Unlock mitre lock knob

and squeeze the mitre detent latch
zero position. Unlock the mitre lock knob to allow the mitre detent latch to snap into place as
you rotate the mitre arm toward zero. Observe the pointer
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.

Bevel Pointer (Fig. I)
If the bevel pointer
does not indicate zero, loosen the screw
 29 
move the pointer as necessary. Do not remove the steel plate in front of the bevel pointer. This
plate prevents wood resin from accumulating on the bevel scale during use.
