Use and Care Manual

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. Lift the saw arm to the upper position and lock it in place.

Raise the lower blade guard (Fig. A - 1) out of the way and

hold it up.

3. Firmly press down the saw spindle lock (Fig. A - 2) 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 - 3). 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. Allow the lower blade guard to return back into position.

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.

returns to its safety position, covering the blade.
