ASSEMBLY
FIG. 9
REMOVE AND INSTALL THE TABLE INSERT (FIG. 9)
WARNING: To avoid injury:
• Always unplug the saw to avoid accidental starting.
Remove all small pieces of material from the table cavity
before performing any cuts. The table insert may be
removed for this purpose, but always reattach the table
insert prior to performing a cutting operation.
• Do not start the miter saw without checking for interference
between the blade and table insert. Damage could result
to the blade, table insert or working table if blade strike
occurs during the cutting operation.
CAUTION: The miter saw comes with the table
insert already installed. These insturctions are for replacing
or adjusting either insert side.
• To remove, loosen and remove the eight screws (A) on the table insert (B) with the Phillips screwdriver on the blade
wrench and remove the table insert.
• To install, reposition the left and right side inserts on either side of the cut line, replace the eight screws and tighten.
• Check for blade clearance by moving the slide bar through full motion the blade in table slot. If either side of the table
insert hits the saw blade, loosen the four screws for that side and adjust. Tighten the screws and check again for blade
clearance.
NOTICE: Do not remove this cross screw (A).
To remove the blade (Fig. 10a-10c)
• Unplug the saw.
• Raise the cutting head.
• Loosen the cross screw (A) with the Phillips screwdriver
on the blade wrench. (Fig. 10a)
• Raise the lower blade guard (B) to the up position.
• Rotate the lower blade guard (B) upward to expose the
arbor bolt (C). (Fig. 10c)
WARNING: Make sure the arbor lock button is not engaged before reconnecting saw to power source. Never
engage arbor lock button when blade is rotating.
WARNING: Only use a 12 in. diameter blade. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow outer ange to engage
with the ats on the arbor. Larger blades will come in contact with the blade guards, while thicker blades will prevent the
hex bolt from securing the blade on the arbor. Either of these situations could result in a serious accident and can cause
serious personal injury. 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.
