Mounting the Laser System

WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from unexpected starting,
unplug the saw whenever you
are removing or installing the
blade.
NOTE: See "Installing or Removing
Blade" section of this manual for more
information.
1. Unplug the saw from the outlet.
2. Rotate the lower plastic guard by hand.
Loosen, but do not remove, the cover
plate stop screw using the Phillips end
of combination wrench.
3. Lift the lower guard up and tilt the lower
guard assembly back so the arbor
screw is exposed.
4. Find the arbor lock between the upper
guard and the miter saw handle. Fit 1/4"
hex end of combination tool in arbor
screw or use 1/2" box end wrench.
5. Press the arbor lock and hold it firmly
while turning the wrench clockwise. The
arbor lock will engage after some turn-
ing of the wrench.
NOTE: The arbor screw has a left hand
thread. This helps prevent unwanted
loosening of the arbor screw during nor-
mal operation.
