Installing a Blade
1. Unplug the saw.
2. With the arm raised, the lower guard held open and the guard bracket, place the blade
on the spindle against the inner blade clamp with the teeth at the bottom of the blade
pointing toward the back of the saw.
3. Assemble the outer blade clamp onto the spindle.
4. Install the blade screw and, engaging the spindle lock, tighten the screw firmly with
wrench provided. (Turn counterclockwise, left-hand threads.)
5. Return the guard bracket to its original position and firmly tighten the guard bracket screw
to hold bracket in place.
WARNING:
• The guard bracket must be returned to its original position
and the screw tightened before activating the saw.
• Failure to do so may allow the guard to contact the
spinning saw blade resulting in damage to the saw and
severe personal injury.
Transporting the Saw (Fig. 3, 6)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn off the tool and
disconnect it from the power source before attempting to move it, change
accessories or make any adjustments.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS lock the miter lock
handle, bevel lock handle, lock down pin, and fence adjustment knob before transporting
saw.
In order to conveniently carry the miter saw from place to place, a carrying handle has been
included on the top of the saw arm, as shown in Figure 3. To transport the saw, lower the
arm and depress the lock down pin shown in Figure 6.

ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn off the tool and
disconnect it from the power source before attempting to move it, change
accessories or make any adjustments.
NOTE: Your miter saw is fully and accurately adjusted at the factory at the time of manufacture.
If readjustment due to shipping and handling or any other reason is required, follow the steps
below to adjust your saw.
Once made, these adjustments should remain accurate. Take a little time now to follow these
directions carefully to maintain the accuracy of which your saw is capable.
MITER SCALE ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 7, 8)
Place a square against the saw's fence and blade, as shown in Figure 7. (Do not touch the tips
of the blade teeth with the square. To do so will cause an inaccurate measurement.) Unlock
miter lock lever (see Fig. 8) and swing the miter arm until the miter detent locks it at the 0˚
miter position. Do not lock miter lock lever. If the saw blade is not exactly perpendicular to
the fence, loosen the three screws that hold the miter scale to the base (shown in Fig. 8) and
move the scale/miter arm assembly left or right until the blade is perpendicular to the fence,
as measured with the square. Retighten the three screws. Pay no attention to the reading of
the miter pointer at this point.
MITER POINTER ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 8, 9)
Unlock miter lock lever and squeeze the miter detent to move the miter arm to the zero
position, as shown in Figure 8. Unlock the miter lock lever to allow the miter detent to snap
into place as you rotate the miter arm past zero. Observe the pointer and miter scale through
the viewing opening shown in Figure 9. If the pointer does not indicate exactly zero, loosen the
pointer screw, adjust the pointer to 0˚ and retighten.
BEVEL SQUARE TO TABLE (FIG. 10, 11)
To align the blade square to the rotary table, lock the arm in the down position. Place a square
against the blade taking care to not have the square on top of a tooth, as shown in Figure 10.
Loosen the bevel clamp knob so that you can move the bevel arm. Move the bevel arm as
necessary so that the blade is at 0° bevel to the table. If the bevel arm needs adjustment,
loosen the lock nut on the right side bevel stop as shown in Figure 11, and adjust the stop
screw as necessary. Hold the stop screw in place and tighten the lock nut.
BEVEL POINTER (FIG. 11)
If the bevel pointer does not indicate zero, loosen the screw that holds it in place and move
the pointer as necessary.
