Installing the Blade (Fig. H, I, J)
WARNING
!
Un-plug the miter saw before
changing/installing the blade.
Install a 10 in. blade with a 5/8 in. arbor
hole, making sure the rotation arrow
on the blade matches the clockwise
rotation arrow on the upper guard, and
the blade teeth are pointing downward
at the front of the saw.
1. Place the blade into the arbor (9)
and against the inner blade
collar (8). Place the outer blade
collar (6) onto the arbor (9) and
against the blade. Thread the arbor
bolt (4) counterclockwise onto the
arbor (9). (Fig. J)
IMPORTANT: The flat side of the
blade collar must be placed against
the blade. Do not install the collar
with the curved side against the
blade.

2. Place the blade wrench on the arbor
bolt (4). (Fig. H)
3. Press the arbor lock button (5),
holding it in firmly while turning the
blade wrench counterclockwise.
Continue to press the arbor lock
button while tightening the arbor
bolt securely. (Fig. I)
4. Rotate the cover plate (3) back to its
original position until the slot in the
cover plate engages with the cover
plate screw (2). While holding the
lower blade guard, tighten the screw
with a Phillips screwdriver. (Fig. H)
NOTE: The lower blade guard must
be raised to the upright position to
access the cover plate screw.
5. Lower the blade guard (1) back to
its original position. (Fig. H)
6. Pull the trigger switch handle down
and up several times to confirm the
lower blade guard operates without
binding.
7. Be sure the arbor lock button (5) is
released so the blade turns freely
by spinning the blade until the arbor
lock disengages. (Fig. I)
WARNING
!
● To avoid injury, never use the
saw without the cover plate
secure in place. It keeps the
arbor bolt from falling out if it
accidentally loosens, and helps
prevent the spinning blade from
coming off the saw.
● Make sure the collars are clean
and properly arranged. Lower the
blade into the table and check for
any contact with the metal base
or the saw table.
