ASSEMBLY AND ALIGNMENT
Assembling the Lower Blade Guard
NOTE: For compact shipment the lower blade guard
has been partially disconnected.
1. The miter saw is equipped with a handle latch used
to lock the miter saw in the lowered position. To
release, push the handle down slightly and turn the
handle latch to the other side.
2. Release the handle latch and raise the saw to its
up position.
3. Slide the lower guard assembly down until the
groove in the mounting plate rests on the front screw.
Tighten the screw with a phillips screwdriver.
4, Remove the shoulder screw from the pivot casting
as illustrated. Attach the blade guard link to the pivot
casting with a phillips screwdriver.
NOTE: With the blade guard link attached, the guard
should raise as the blade is lowered towards the work
table and drop to cover the blade as the power head
is raised. This link helps prevent guard hangups and
binding while you are cutting.
