WARNING]

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. M) 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. L)

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. K)

NOTE:

The lower blade guard

must be raised

to the upright

position to access

the cover

6.

Lower the clear retractable

blade guard

(1)

and verify

the operation of the guard does not

bind or stick (Fig. K).

7.

Be sure the arbor lock is released

so the

blade turns

freely by spinning

the blade until

the arbor lock disengages.

WARNING]

*

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.

Your tool is equipped

with the Laser Trac ® cutting

guide using Class

II laser beam. The laser beam

will enable to preview

the saw blade path on the

stock to be cut before starting

the miter saw.

This laser guide is powered

by the transformed

alternating

current

supply

directly through

the

power lead. The saw must

be connected

to

the

source

and the

laser

switch

must

be turned
