CAUTION:
Always install the blade with the blade teeth and the arrow
printed on the side of the blade pointing down at the front
of the saw. The direction of blade rotation is also stamped
with an arrow on the upper blade guard.
 Tighten blade bolt securely.
 Replace blade bolt cover and tighten blade bolt cover-
screw securely.
 Lower the blade guard.
 Raise and lower the saw arm to ensure lower blade guard
functions correctly.
WARNING:
Make sure the spindle lock button is not engaged before
reconnecting saw into power source. Never engage
spindle lock button when blade is rotating.
REMOVING/REPLACING THE THROAT PLATE
See Figure 18.
WARNING:
The throat plate must be below the miter table. If the
throat plate is too high or too low, the workpiece can
catch on the uneven edges resulting in binding which
could result in serious personal injury.
Never operate the saw without a throat plate installed.
To remove/replace:
 Remove the battery.
 Remove the screws securing the throat plate.
 Lift the throat plate from the saw.
 To reinstall the throat plate, align the holes in the throat
plate with the holes in the saw base.
 Retighten the screws, being careful not to overtighten
which can cause the throat plate to bow or bend.
ADJUSTING SUPPORT FOOT
See Figure 18.
Turn the support foot clockwise or counterclockwise depend-
ing on the amount of support needed for making sliding cuts.
NOTE: Many of the illustrations in this manual show only
portions of the compound miter saw. This is intentional so
that we can clearly show points being made in the illustra-
tions. Never operate the saw without all guards securely
in place and in good operating condition.
