INSTALLING THE MITER LOCK KNOB
1. Screw the miter lock knob (Fig. 1 - 1) into the miter lock
until hand-tight. Do not overtighten; this could damage the
miter lock.
INSTALLING THE BLADE
1. The blade is packaged in a white cardboard sleeve and is
packed with a protective rubber edging. Remove the blade
from its packaging and rubber sleeve, being careful not to
scrape yourself along the blade edge.
2. Pull out the saw arm release bolt and let the saw arm rest
in the upper position. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver (not
included) to remove the blade guard bolt (Fig. A - 1) that
holds the blade guard plate in place. Raise the lower blade
guard (Fig. A - 2) and the blade guard plate so that you can
access the arbor hex bolt.
3. Firmly press down the saw spindle lock (Fig. A - 3) below
the operating handle and hold it in. Use the included 6mm
hex wrench to turn the arbor bolt clockwise and remove
it (the bolt is left-hand threaded) (Fig. A - 4). Remove the
washer and outer flange. Make sure the inner flange stays
in place on the arbor.
4. Place the blade on the arbor insert and spindle.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the blade's rotation arrow points
in the same direction as the rotation arrow on the upper
blade guard.
5. Reinstall the outer flange, washer, and arbor bolt, Hold
down the spindle lock and tighten the arbor bolt with the
hex wrench, turning it counterclockwise. Release the spin-
dle lock.
6. Lower the blade guard, making sure that the blade guard
is properly lowered and covering the arbor bolt. Reinstall
the blade guard screw. Make sure that the blade guard
moves freely and covers the entirety of the blade.
IMPORTANT: Carefully rotate the saw blade and make sure
that it does not wobble. Lower the saw arm and check that
the blade does not contact the kerf board with the saw at
0° and 45° bevel angles. Make sure the lower blade guard
operates properly before using the saw.
