ASSEMBLY

REMOVE ALL THE PARTS FROM THE BOX
Your PRO-PULSE CMS174 Sliding Compound Mitre Saw is fully assembled in the
carton with the exception of the table extensions, dust bag, rear stabilizer stand,
and hold-down clamp.
 When cutting long pieces of material, use the table side extensions. Slide the
table side extensions into the holes at the left and right of the table. Tighten
the table extension retainer screws (B, fig.1) to hold them in place.
 Fit the dust bag over the dust port (T, fig.2).
 Fit the hold-down clamp assembly (E, fig.1) into one of the hold-down mounting
holes (L, fig.2), most commonly the left rear.
 To disengage the cutting head from its shipping and storage position, push
down lightly on it and pull out the spring-loaded head lock button (U, fig.2) on
the right side of the hinge behind the motor. Turn it a quarter turn until the pin
in the shaft rests in the small groove to hold the button out.
 To unlock the table rotation, unscrew the locking handle (N, fig.1) and de-press
the mitre detent spring lever (O, fig.1) with your thumb.
 To unlock the head angle (bevel) adjustment, loosen the bevel lock handle (D,
fig.1) at rear of the saw. Lock it when the blade is tilted at the desired angle.
 To lower the head of the saw to the material, press down on the handle.
MOUNTING AND REMOVING THE BLADE
CAUTION! Be sure the saw is disconnected from power!
1. Unscrew the movable guard release screw (Q, fig.1) and rotate the guard
centre plate around the movable guard pivot screw with the guard until
it exposes the saw blade arbor screw.
