To install a standard blade:
 Place the new blade on the arbor shaft (the teeth must
point down toward the front of the saw to work properly).
 Place the blade washer and the blade nut over the arbor
shaft. Be sure the flat side of the blade washer faces
the blade and that all items are snug against the arbor
housing. Make sure the blade nut is securely tightened.
Do not overtighten.
 Lock the release lever.
 Rotate the blade by hand to make sure it turns freely.
 Lower the saw blade and reinstall the throat plate.
 Check all clearances for free blade rotation.
NOTE: To replace the blade with an accessory blade, follow
the instructions provided with the accessory.

The angle settings of the saw have been set at the factory
and, unless damaged in shipping, should not require setting
during assembly. After extensive use, they may need to be
checked.
 Unplug the saw.
 Raise the blade.
 Remove the blade guard assembly.
If the blade is not perfectly vertical (0°):
 Unlock the bevel locking lever.
 Loosen the 0° adjustment screw.
 Place a combination square beside the blade on the

be parallel.
NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part
of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.
