7. If replacing a used blade, remove the blade.
Install the new Blade. Make sure that the Blade’s
rotation arrow points in the same direction as
the rotation arrow on the Lower Blade Guard.
8. Replace the Outer Flange and Arbor Bolt. Position
the cupped side of the Flange against the blade.
Hold in the Spindle Lock and wrench tighten the
Arbor Bolt by turning it COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
Release the Spindle Lock.
9. Rotate the Guard Plate back into place and
secure it with the Guard Plate Bolt.
10. WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS
INJURY: Make sure the Lower Blade Guard
operates smoothly and properly protects
from the Blade before using the saw.
Setting and Testing
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM
ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Make sure that the Trigger is in the off-position
and unplug the tool from its electrical outlet before
performing any procedure in this section.
Adjusting the Miter Angle
A miter cut is one that is at an angle across the horizontal
surface of the material. 45º miter cuts to join two pieces
in a right angle corner are common. A 30º cut is often
used for a scarf joint or to make a chamfered end.
1. Pull up on the Miter Detent Lock Lever to unlock
the Table. Squeeze the Detent Latch Button
and move the Table to the desired angle.
2. The Miter Angle Indicator will indicate the
selected angle. While the Miter Detent Lock
Lever is released, the Table will lock into place
at often used miter angles, including 15º, 22.5º,
30º, and 45º on both left and right sides.

3. To override the pre-set detents (stops) for micro
adjustments at any angle, pull up on the Miter Detent
Lock Lever and push the Detent Latch Button forward
and latch in place. Release the Miter Detent Lock
Lever and adjust Table to any position on the miter
scale. To disengage pull up on the Miter Detent
Lock Lever to release the Detent Latch Button.
4. With the Table adjusted to the desired angle,
place the workpiece flush against the Fence,
secure it with the Clamp and make the cut.
Adjusting the Bevel Angle
A bevel cut is one that is at an angle vertically. Bevel
cuts can be used to miter relatively wide and thin
material. Bevel cuts can be used in combination with
a miter cut to form a compound angle. Compound
angle cuts are often used in crown moldings,
picture frames and similar trim materials.
1. Loosen the Bevel Lock Knob at the rear of the saw.
2. For micro adjustments at any bevel angle, push the
Bevel Detent Lever back until it snaps into place
and move the Saw Head Assembly to the desired
angle. Read the angle on the Bevel Angle Indicator.

3. To use the pre-set detents (stops), push the
Bevel Detent Lever back until the Saw Head
Assembly can be moved and then release the
Lever. The Saw Head Assembly will lock into
place at often used bevel angles, including 22.5º,
33.9º, and 45º on both left and right sides.
4. Lock the Saw Head Assembly into position
by rotating the Bevel Lock Knob clockwise.
Tighten firmly but do not over-tighten.
5. Make a sample cut in a piece of scrap to
confirm that the bevel angle is correct.
If it is not, correct the angle before cutting.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
Adjust both sides of the Fence clear of the Blade’s
cutting path after making any adjustment to the
cutting angle. Move the Blade through its full
range of motion to ensure the Fences are clear.
