8. Remove the arbor bolt (4), outer
blade collar (6), and the blade (7).
Do not remove the inner blade
collar. (Fig. H)
NOTE: Pay attention to the pieces
removed, noting their position and
direction they face. Wipe the blade collars
clean of any sawdust before installing
a new blade. Also, the 254 mm blade
has a 25.4 mm arbor hole with a 16 mm
reducer (8) to mount onto the saw.

Installing Blade (Fig. F, G, H)
1. Install a 254 mm blade with a 16 mm
arbour (or a 25.4 mm arbour with a
16 mm reducer as saw comes with)
making sure the rotation arrow on
the blade matches the clockwise
rotation arrow on the upper guard,
and the blade teeth are pointing
downward.
2. Place the blade collar (6) against
the blade and on the arbor. Thread
the arbor bolt (4) onto the arbor in a
counterclockwise direction. (Fig. H)
IMPORTANT: Make sure the flats of
the blade collars are engaged with
the flats on the arbor shaft. Also, the
flat side of the blade collar must be
placed against the blade.
3. Place the blade wrench on the arbor
bolt.
4. Press the arbor lock (5), holding
it in firmly while turning the blade
counterclockwise. When arbor
lock engages, continue to press it
in while tightening the arbor bolt
securely. (Fig. G)
5. Rotate the cover plate (3) back to its
original position until the slot in the
cover plate engages with the cover
plate screw (2). While holding the
lower blade guard, tighten the screw
with a Phillips screwdriver. (Fig. F)
NOTE: The lower blade guard must
be raised to the upright position to
access the cover plate screw.
6. Lower the blade guard (1) and verify
that the operation of the guard does
not bind or stick.
7. Be sure the arbor lock is released
so the blade turns freely.
● To avoid injury, never use the saw
without the cover plate secure
in place. It keeps the arbor bolt
from falling out if it accidentally
loosens, and helps prevent the
spinning blade from coming off
the saw.
● Make sure the collars are clean
and properly arranged. Lower the
blade into the table and check for
any contact with the metal base
or the turn table.
MOUNTING THE MITER SAW
(FIG. I, J, K)
To avoid injury from unexpected
saw movement:
●
Before moving the saw, disconnect the
power cord from the outlet, and lock
the cutting arm in the lower position
using the head lock down knob.
NOTE: The head lock down knob is
for carrying or storing the tool. It is not
to be used for holding the saw while
cutting. Lower blade and press in head
lock down knob to secure saw for
transport or storage.
