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

Miter Scale Adjustment (Fig. A, 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
swing the miter arm until the miter detent 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

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

and squeeze the miter detent latch
the zero position. Unlock the miter lock knob to allow the miter detent to snap into place as
you rotate the miter arm toward zero. Observe the pointer
viewing opening shown in Figure H. 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
 11 
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
move the pointer as necessary. Do not remove the steel plate in front of the bevel pointer. This
