Installing Blade
Important: This machine requires a 12-inch
diameter blade.
Unplug the miter saw before changing and/or
installing the blade.
Referring to Figure 7:
1. Install a 12 in. blade with a 5/8 in. arbor (or a 1
in. arbor with a 5/8 in. reducer) making sure the
rotation arrow on the blade matches the
clockwise rotation arrow on the upper guard,
and the blade teeth are pointing downward.
2. Place the arbor collar (G) against the blade and
on the arbor. Thread the arbor bolt (H) on the
arbor in a counterclockwise direction.
Important: Make sure that the flat edge inside
the blade collar opening is aligned with the flat
edge on the arbor shaft. Also, the flat -side of
the arbor collar (G) must be placed against the
blade (J).
3. Place the blade wrench on the arbor bolt (H).
4. Press the arbor lock (E), holding it in firmly
while turning the blade counterclockwise
(opposite the cutting direction of the blade).
When it engages, continue to press the arbor
lock (E) in, while tightening the arbor bolt (H)
securely.
5. Rotate the cover plate (B) back to its original
position until the slot in the cover plate engages
with the cover plate screw (C). While holding
the lower blade guard (A) up as shown, tighten
the screw (C) with a cross-point screwdriver.
6. Lower the retractable blade guard (A) and
verify that the operation of the guard does not
bind or stick.
7. Turn the blade to disengage the arbor lock (E);
then verify that the blade will spin freely.
Never use the saw without the
cover plate securely in place. Failure to comply
may cause serious injury!
The cover plate keeps the arbor bolt from falling out
if it accidentally loosens, and helps prevent the
spinning blade from coming off the saw.
Verify that the collars are clean
and properly installed. Lower the blade into the
table and verify that it does not come in contact
with the metal base or the turn table. Failure to
comply may cause serious injury!
