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, onto the blade adapter [if using a blade with a 1" (25.4 mm) diameter blade hole]
and 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
34
and, engaging the spindle lock, tighten the screw firmly with the
6 mm hex wrench provided. (Turn counterclockwise, left-hand threads.)
nOTE: When using blades with a 5/8" (15.88 mm) diameter blade hole, the blade adapter will
not be used and should be stored in a safe place for future use.

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.
Miter Scale Adjustment (Fig. A, F)
Place a square against the saw's fence and blade. (Do not touch the tips of the blade teeth with
the square. To do so will cause an inaccurate measurement.) Unlock miter lock lever
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 base fence
screws
that hold the miter scale
to the base 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. F, G)
Unlock miter lock lever

and squeeze the miter detent trigger
the zero position. Unlock the miter lock lever to allow the miter detent to snap into place as
you rotate the miter arm toward zero. Observe the pointer
viewing opening shown in Figure G. If the pointer does not indicate exactly zero, loosen the
pointer screw, adjust the pointer to 0˚ and retighten.

Bevel Square to Table (Fig. A, H)
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. Loosen the bevel lock
lever

and ensure the arm is firmly against the 0° bevel stop. Move the 0° bevel stop adjusting
screw
