flanges. Use of the incorrect arbor hole ring may
result in the improper mounting of the blade
causing blade movement and severe vibration
resulting in possible loss of control during
operation and in serious personal injury.

To install the blade, mount it carefully onto the spindle,
making sure that the direction of the arrow on the
surface of the blade matches the direction of the arrow
on the blade case.
Install the outer flange and hex bolt, and then use the
socket wrench to tighten the hex bolt (left-handed)
securely counterclockwise while pressing the shaft lock.

Return the blade guard and center cover to its original
position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to secure
the center cover. Release the handle from the raised
position by pulling the stopper pin. Lower the handle to
make sure that the blade guard moves properly. Make

Dust bag

The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations
cleaner and dust collection easier. To attach the dust
bag, fit it onto the dust nozzle.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust
bag from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the
dust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to
remove particles adhering to the insides which might
hamper further collection.
NOTE:
If you connect a vacuum cleaner to your saw, cleaner
operations can be performed.
Securing workpiece
WARNING:
It is extremely important to always secure the
•
workpiece correctly with the proper type of
vise or crown molding stoppers. Failure to do
so may result in serious personal injury and cause
damage to the tool and/or the workpiece.
After a cutting operation do not raise the blade
•
until it has come to a complete stop. The
raising of a coasting blade may result in serious
personal injury and damage to the workpiece.
When cutting a workpiece that is longer than
•
the support base of the saw, the material
should be supported the entire length beyond
the support base and at the same height to
keep the material level. Proper workpiece
support will help avoid blade pinch and possible
kickback which may result in serious personal
injury. Do not rely solely on the vertical vise and/or
horizontal vise to secure the workpiece. Thin
material tends to sag. Support workpiece over its
entire length to avoid blade pinch and possible
KICKBACK.
