Bench Mounting
Bench mounting holes (8) are provided in all four feet to
facilitate bench mounting, as shown in Figure 1. (Two dif-
ferent 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 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)
DO NOT USE FERROUS METAL or
blades in this saw
• Loosen hex bolt on center cover counter clockwise
with box wrench.
• Lift up the safe cover and center cover.
• Press down the lock to lock spindle.
• Loosen hex bolt clockwise with box wrench, then
dismount the bolt and flange.
• Mount the blade of saw on spindle. Make sure that
the arrow direction on surface of saw blade is same
as one of the cover.
Note: There are two different internal diameters of cutter in
inner plate which have steel stamp marked 25.4mm
16mm. When mounting, the outer diameter of inner plate
must be correspondent with the internal diameter of saw
blade.
• Mount flange and hex bolt.
• Press axle lock and tighten hex bolt counter clock
wise with box wrench firmly, then tighten hex bolt
clockwise to fix centre cover.
Note: Only use attached wrench when mounting or dis-
mounting saw blade. When dismounting saw blade, lift
up safe cover and centre cover. Loosen hex bolt with
box wrench and disassemble hex bolt, flange and saw
blade.
NEVER DEPRESS THE SPINDLE LOCK PIN WHILE
THE BLADE IS ROTATING.
• Be sure to hold the guard bracket down and firmly
Assembling and Adjusting Your Saw
PERFORM ALL ASSEMBLY WITH SAW UNPLUGGED.
Attach Miter Clamp Handle
Remove the miter clamp handle (4) from the plastic
parts bag and carefully thread it into the bracket in the
front of the saw.
Attaching Dust Bag
A zippered cloth dust bag is included with your saw. To
attach the bag, fit the plastic opening firmly over the
dust spout (9).
NOTE: The saw can also be used with a vacuum
cleaner hose attached to the dust spout or without any
attachment.
Adjustments
PERFORM ALL ADJUSTMENTS WITH THE MITER
masonry cutting SAW UNPLUGGED
NOTE: Your miter saw is fully and accurately adjusted
at the factory at the time of manufacture. If readjust-
ment due to shipping and handling or any other reason
is required, follow the steps below to adjust your saw.
Miter Scale Adjustment
Place a square against the saw's fence and blade, as
shown in Figure 4. (Do not touch the tips of the blade
teeth with the square. To do so will cause an inaccurate
measurement.) Loosen the miter clamp handle (4) as
shown in Figure 5 and swing the miter arm until the
miter latch (5) locks it at the 0 miter position. Do not
tighten the clamp handle. If the saw blade is not exact-
ly perpendicular to the fence, loosen the two screws
that hold the handle to the base (shown in Figure 6)
and move the arm of the saw left or right until the blade
is perpendicular to the fence, as measured with the
square. Retighten the two screws. Pay no attention to
the reading of the miter pointer at this point.

tighten the guard bracket screw when you finish
installing the saw blade. Failure to do so will
cause serious damage to the saw.
