When arbor lock engages, continue to press it in while tightening the arbor bolt securely.
(Fig. 12)
● 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 the
cross end of the provided blade wrench. (Fig. 11)
NOTE: The lower blade guard must be raised to the upright position to access the cover
plate screw.
● Lower the blade guard (1) and verify that the operation of the guard does not bind or stick.
(Fig. 11)
● Be sure the arbor lock is released so the blade turns freely before operating the saw.
● To avoid injury, never use the saw without the cover plate securely 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 lower table
and check for any contact with the metal base or the miter table.
● To avoid injury from an accidental start, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the
plug is not connected to the power source outlet.
● Never cut metals or masonry products with this tool. This miter saw is designed for use on
wood and wood-like products only.
INSTALLING BLADE (FIG. 11, 12, 13)
Unplug the miter saw before changing/installing
the blade.
● Install a 7-1/4 in. blade with a 5/8 in. arbor
hole, making sure the rotation arrow on the
blade matches the clockwise rotation arrow
on the upper guard and the blade teeth are
pointing downward at the front of the saw.
● Place the blade (7) onto the arbor (9) and
against the inner blade collar (8). Then, place
the outer blade collar (6) and thread the arbor
bolt (4) counterclockwise onto the arbor.
(Fig. 13)

collars must be placed against the blade. Do
not install the collars with the curved side
