3. Loosen, but do not remove guard bracket screw (B) until the bracket can be raised far
enough to access the blade screw. Lower guard will remain raised due to the position of
the guard bracket screw.

4. Depress the spindle lock button (C) while carefully rotating the saw blade by hand until
the lock engages.
5. Keeping the button depressed, use the other hand and the wrench provided (D) to loosen
the blade screw. (Turn clockwise, left-hand threads.)
6. Remove the blade screw (E), outer blade clamp (F), and blade (G). The inner blade clamp
(I), and if used, the 1" (25.4 mm) blade adapter (H), may be left on the spindle.
NOTE: For blades with a blade hole of 5/8" (15.88 mm), the 1" (25.4 mm) blade adapter
is not used.
Installing a Blade
1. Unplug the saw.
2. With the arm raised, the lower guard held open and the guard bracket, place the blade
on the spindle, onto the blade adapter [if using a blade with a 1" (25.4 mm) diameter
blade hole] and against the inner blade clamp with the teeth at the bottom of the blade
pointing toward the back of the saw.
3. Assemble the outer blade clamp onto the spindle.
4. Install the blade screw (E) and, engaging the spindle lock, tighten the screw firmly with
wrench provided. (Turn counterclockwise, left-hand threads.)
NOTE: When using blades with a 5/8" (15.88 mm) diameter blade hole, the blade adapter will
not be used and should be stored in a safe place for future use.
5. Return the guard bracket to its original position and firmly tighten the guard bracket
screw (B) to hold bracket in place.
WARNING:
• The guard bracket must be returned to its original position
and the screw tightened before activating the saw.
• Failure to do so may allow the guard to contact the
spinning saw blade resulting in damage to the saw and
severe personal injury.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn off the tool and
disconnect it from the power source before attempting to move it, change
accessories or make any adjustments.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury. ALWAYS lock the miter
lock handle, bevel lock handle, down lock pin and fence adjustment knob before
transporting saw.
In order to conveniently carry the miter saw from
place to place, a carrying handle has been included
on the top of the saw arm and hand indentations in
the base, as shown in Figures 2 and 4.
ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, turn off the tool and
disconnect it from the power source before
attempting to move it, change accessories or
make any adjustments.
NOTE: Your miter saw is fully and accurately
adjusted at the factory at the time of manufacture.
If readjustment due to shipping and handling or any
other reason is required, follow the steps below to
adjust your saw.
Once made, these adjustments should remain
accurate. Take a little time now to follow these
directions carefully to maintain the accuracy of
which your saw is capable.
MITER SCALE ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 5)
Place a square against the saw's fence and blade. (Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with
the square. To do so will cause an inaccurate measure ment.) Unlock miter lock lever (J) and
swing the miter arm until the miter latch locks it at the 0 miter position. Do not lock miter lock
lever (J). If the saw blade is not exactly perpendicular to the fence, loosen the three screws that
hold the miter scale to the base and move the scale left or right until the blade is perpendicular
to the fence, as measured with the square. Retighten the three screws. Pay no attention to the
reading of the miter pointer at this time.
