WARNING:
Assemble the saw head to the base before attempting to
use the product. Using the saw head without first install-
ing it to the base may result in serious personal injury.
ASSEMBLING THE MITER SAW HEAD TO THE
BASE
See Figures 10 - 11.
NOTE: If the miter saw you purchased is already factory
assembled, proceed to the next section to install the
Dust
Bag. To determine if your saw was factory assembled, see
UNPACKING.

Secure the base to the stand or other firm supporting
surface such as a workbench.
 Remove the paper seal from the miter saw head.
 Remove the tape securing the bolt from the back of the
saw head. Set the bolt, spring washer, and flat washer
aside.
 Place the miter saw head on the saw base oriented verti-
cally as shown in figure 10. Install the bolt, spring washer,
and flat washer; finger tighten.
 Using the blade wrench provided or a standard 5 mm hex
wrench, tighten the bolt. The bolt should be tightened
enough so that the saw head can be set to a 30º bevel
without allowing the saw head to drop under its own
weight.
 Install the bevel knob with flat washer and tighten until
the head is secure but not locked in position.
 Place the head at 0º. Install the bevel indicator so that the
indicator points to 0º. Tighten the bevel indicator screw
securely using the other end of the blade wrench or a
standard Phillips screwdriver.
NOTE: Check the saw head’s bevel position at both 0º
and 45º to make sure the indicator is correctly installed.
If the saw head cannot move to the 45º position, slightly
loosen the bolt at the back of the saw head.
