WARNING
•
Do not use a blade larger or smaller than 10" and 5/8"
diameter arbor.
•
Never use the saw without the cover plate secure in
place. It keeps the arbor bolt from falling out and helps
to prevent the spinning blade from coming off the miter
saw.
•
After installation of new blade, lower the blade into the
table slot and check for any contact with the base or turn
table structure. If blade contacts table, seek authorized
service. .

•
Tighten the fence locking bolts after adjustment.
•
After fence has been aligned, use a scrap piece of wood
to make a cut at 90° then check squarerness on the
piece. Readjust if necessary.
