Bench Mounting

Holes are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench
mounting, as shown in Figure 2. (Two different sized holes
are provided to accommodate different sizes of screws.
Use either hole, it is not necessary to use both.) Always
mount your saw firmly to prevent movement. To enhance
the tool's portability, it can be mounted to a piece of 1/2"
or thicker plywood which can then be clamped to your
work support or moved to other job sites and reclamped.
NOTE: If you elect to mount your saw to a piece of
plywood, make sure that the mounting screws don't
protrude from the bottom of the wood. The plywood must
sit flush on the work support. When clamping the saw to
any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses
where the mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at
any other point will surely interfere with the proper
operation of the saw.
CAUTION: To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure
the mounting surface is not warped or otherwise uneven.
If the saw rocks on the surface place a thin piece of
material under one saw foot until the saw sits firmly on the
mounting surface.
Installing a New Saw Blade
(UNPLUG THE MITER SAW)
TYPE
DO NOT CUT FERROUS METAL (THAT WITH AN IRON
OF CUT
OR STEEL CONTENT) OR MASONRY WITH THIS
Very
MITER SAW.
Smooth
With the saw arm in the upper position, raise the lower
Splinter
guard as far as possible. Loosen (but do not remove) The
Free
guard bracket screw, shown in Figure 5 until the guard
bracket can be raised enough to permit access to the
Smooth
blade screw. Hold the lower guard up and depress the
Fast Cut
spindle lock button with one hand and use the supplied
blade wrench in the other hand to loosen (clockwise) the
-------
left hand threaded blade screw.
NOTE: To use the spindle lock, depress the button as
shown and rotate the blade by hand until you feel the lock
engage. Continue to hold the lock button in to keep the
spindle from turning. Remove the blade screw and the
blade.
As shown in Figure 6 the inner clamp washer is installed
first, then the blade adapter. The blade adapter is
designed to permit the use of saw blades with 1" arbor
holes as well as those with 5/8" arbor holes.
When using blades with 1" arbor holes, install the blade
adapter over the spindle shaft and against the inner clamp
washer, as shown in the figure. Next, install the saw blade
making sure that the arbor hole in the blade fits on the
blade adapter. Make sure that the teeth at the bottom of
the blade are pointing toward the back of the saw (away
from the operator). Install the outer clamp washer and
install the blade screw. Tighten firmly using the spindle
lock and the provided wrench (left hand threads). When
using saw blades with 5/8" arbor holes, remove the blade
adapter! Save it in a safe place for future use. The rest of
the blade assembly is exactly the same.
NEVER DEPRESS THE SPINDLE LOCK PIN WHILE
THE BLADE IS ROTATING.
BE SURE TO HOLD THE GUARD BRACKET DOWN
AND FIRMLY TIGHTEN THE GUARD BRACKET
SCREW WHEN YOU FINISH INSTALLING THE SAW
BLADE. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL CAUSE SERIOUS
DAMAGE TO THE SAW.
Rear Lower Guard
Adjustment
Check the rear lower guard to ensure that it is located
such that the saw blade is in the center and equidistant
from each side, as shown in Figures 6 & 7. Adjust as
necessary by loosening the two screws and moving the
guard. Firmly tighten both screws. Never remove this
guard.
