NOTE: Pay attention to the pieces removed, noting their position and direction they face. Wipe the blade collars clean of any sawdust before installing a new blade. Also, the 12 in. blade has a 1 in. arbor hole with a 5/8 in. reducer (8) to mount onto the saw. Fig. N 8 \ 6 4 INSTALLING BLADE (FIG. L, M, N) WARNING J Un-plug the miter saw before changing/installing the blade. 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 (6) against the blade and on the arbor. Thread the arbor bolt (4) on the arbor. (Fig. N) in a counterclockwise direction. 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. M) 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. L) NOTE: The lower blade guard must be raised to the upright position to access the cover plate screw. 6. Lower the clear retractable blade guard (1) and verify the operation of the guard does not bind or stick (Fig. L). 7. Be sure the arbor lock is released so the blade turns freely by spinning the blade until the arbor lock disengages. WARNING J • 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. • 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. 22

INSTALLING
BLADE
(FIG.
L, M, N)
WARNING
J
Un-plug the miter saw before
changing/installing
the blade.
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
(6) against
the blade and on the arbor. Thread
the arbor bolt (4) on the arbor. (Fig.
N) in a counterclockwise
direction.
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. M)
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. L) NOTE: The lower blade

•
Make sure
the collars
are clean
and
properly
arranged.
Lower
the
blade into
the table and
check
