2.Make a platform u sing a piece o f1.5 inch (38mm) thick
particleboard orsimilar flatstrong 1.5inch thick wood
to the dimensions: 10"x 24"(254 x 610mm). The
platform mustbeflat otherwise the material could

3.Mount the10" x 24"(254 x610mm) platform t othe saw
using 4 three-inch long wood s crews through t heholes
inthebase fence (Fig. 9 ).Four s crews m ust b eused

WARNING: Ensure the saw is mounted firmly to a
stable flat surface. Failure to do so could cause the saw
to be unstable and fall causing personal injury.
4. Place the workpiece to be cut on top of the platform
mounted to the table. Ensure the workpiece is firmly
against the backfence (Fig. 9).

5. Secure the material before cutting. Cut slowly through
the material. Failure to clamp securely or cut slowly
could result in the material coming loose and causing
injury.
After several cuts are made at various miter angles other
than 0°, the platform may weaken and not properly support
the work. Install a new, unused platform to the saw after
presetting the desired miter angle.
CAUTION: Continued use of a platform with several
kerfs may cause loss of material control and possible
injurjz.
Removing and Replacing Belt
The belt is designed to last the life of the tool. However,
abuse of the tool could cause the belt to fail.
If the blade does not turn when the motor is running, the
belt has failed. To inspect or replace the belt, remove the
belt cover screws. Remove the belt cover. Inspect the ribs
of the belt for wear or failure. Check belt tension by squeez-
ing the belt as shown in Figure 21. The belt halves should
almost touch when squeezing firmly with the thumb and
index finger.
To adjust the tension, loosen, but do not remove, the four
Phillips head screws shown. Then rotate the set screw on
the top of the motor plate casting until the proper tension
is achieved. Tighten the four screws securely and replace
the belt cover.
NOTE: Over tightening the belt will cause premature motor
failure.
Maintenance
1. All bearings are sealed. They are lubricatedfor life and
need no further maintenance.
2. Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from around
AND UNDER the base and the rotary table. Even
though slots are provided to allow debris to pass
through, some dust will accumulate.
3. The brushes are designed to give you several years
of use. If they ever need replacement follow the
instructions on page 8 or return the tool to the nearest
service center for repair. Service center locations are
packed with your tool.
Repairs
To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
maintenance and adjustment (including brush inspection
and replacement) should be performed by authorized serv-
ice centers or other qualified service organizations, always
using identical replacement parts.
