INSTALLING THE BLADE
(FIG. 35, 36, 37)
1. Install a 216 mm blade with a
25.4 mm arbor 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 reducer (8), the outer
blade collar (6) against the blade
and on the arbor. Thread the
arbor bolt (4) on the arbor in a
counterclockwise direction.
WARNING! Un-plug the miter saw
before changing/installing the blade.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the ats of
the blade collars are engaged with
the ats on the arbor shaft. Also, the
at side of the blade collar must be
placed against the blade.
3. Place the blade wrench on the arbor
bolt (4).
4. Press the arbor lock (5), holding it in
rmly while turning the blade
counterclockwise. When it engages,
continue to press the arbor lock (5)
in, while tightening the arbor bolt (4)
securely.
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 (1), tighten the
screw with a Phillips screwdriver.
NOTE: The lower blade guard (1)
must be raised to the upright
position to access the cover plate
screw.
6. Lower the lower blade guard (1) and
verify the operation of the guard
does not bind or stick.
7. Be sure the arbor lock (5) is
released so the blade turns freely .
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.
● Make sure the collars are clean
and properly arranged. Lower
the blade into the lower table
and check for any contact with
the base or the miter table by
spinning the blade manually.
