 Remove outer blade washer.
NOTE: The inner blade washer is integrated into the
spindle and cannot be removed.
 Wipe a drop of oil onto spindle and outer blade washer
where they contact the blade.
 Fit saw blade inside lower blade guard and onto spindle.
The blade teeth point downward at the front of saw as
shown in figure 12.
 Replace outer blade washer. The double "D" flats on blade
washers align with flats on spindle.
 Depress and hold spindle lock button and replace blade
bolt.
NOTE: The blade bolt has left hand threads. Turn blade bolt
counterclockwise to tighten.
CAUTION:
Always install the blade with the blade teeth and the arrow
printed on the side of the blade pointing down at the front
of the saw. The direction of blade rotation is also stamped
with an arrow on the upper blade guard.
 Tighten blade bolt securely.
 Lower the blade guard.
 Raise and lower the saw arm to ensure lower blade guard
functions correctly.
REMOVING/REPLACING THE THROAT PLATE
See Figure 13.
WARNING:
The throat plate must be below the miter table. If the
throat plate is too high or too low, the workpiece can
catch on the uneven edges resulting in binding which
could result in serious personal injury.
Never operate the saw without a throat plate installed.
To remove/replace:
 Remove the battery pack from the saw.
 Remove the screws securing the throat plate.
 Lift the throat plate from the saw.
 To reinstall the throat plate, align the holes in the throat
plate with the holes in the saw base.
 Retighten the screws, being careful not to overtighten
which can cause the throat plate to bow or bend.
NOTE: Many of the illustrations in this manual show only
portions of the compound miter saw. This is intentional so
that we can clearly show points being made in the illustra-
tions. Never operate the saw without all guards securely
in place and in good operating condition.
