J, K, L) i_ WARNING] Un-plug the miter saw before changing/installing the blade. 1. Install a 7-1/4 in. blade with a 5/8 in. arbor 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 (6) against the blade and on the arbor. Thread the arbor bolt (4) on the arbor, in a counterclockwise direction. (Fig. L) IMPORTANT: Make sure the flats of the blade collars are engaged with the flats on the arbor shaft. Also, the flat-side of the arbor collar must be placed against the blade. 3. Place the blade wrench on the arbor bolt. 4. Press the arbor lock (5), holding it in firmly while turning the blade counterclockwise. When it engages, continue to press the arbor lock in, while tightening the arbor bolt securely. (Fig. K) 5. Rotate the cover plate (3) back to its original position until the slot in the cover plate engages with the cover plate screw (2). While holding the lower blade guard, tighten the screw with a Phillips screwdriver. (Fig. J) NOTE: The lower blade guard must be raised to the upright position to access the cover plate screw. 6. Lower the blade guard (1) and verify the operation of the guard does not bind or stick (Fig. J). 7. Be sure the arbor lock (5) is released so the blade turns freely by spinning the blade until the arbor lock disengages. [,A WARNING] o To avoid injury, never use the saw without the cover plate secure in place. It keeps the arbor bolt from falling out if it accidentally loosens, and helps prevent the spinning blade from coming off the saw. o Make sure the collars are clean and properly arranged. Lower the blade into the table and check for any contact with the metal base or the turn table. THE LASER GUIDE (FIG. M) 1. To turn laser on, press on/off rocker switch (1) to "ON" position. 2.
