clamp washer. Make sure recessed sides of washers are against
blade. Install the saw blade making sure that the teeth at the bottom
of the blade are pointing toward the back of the saw (away from the
operator). Install the outer clamp washer and install the blade screw.
Tighten firmly using the spindle lock and the provided wrench (left
hand threads).
NEVER DEPRESS THE SPINDLE LOCK PIN WHILE THE BLADE
IS ROTATING.
BE SURE TO HOLD THE GUARD BRACKET DOWN AND FIRMLY
TIGHTEN THE GUARD BRACKET SCREW WHEN YOU FINISH
INSTALLING THE SAW BLADE. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL
CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE SAW AND POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY.
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.
ATTACHING STOP BLOCK
A stop block is included for cutting multiple pieces to the same length.
The stop block can be installed on either the right or left side of the
saw base.
Refer to figure 18 for a layout of the parts that make up the work
extensions. Locate the stop block (23) and slide it over the back arm
of either one of the work extensions as shown in Figure 19. Insert the

wing screw into the threaded opening in the stop block. When using
the stop block, loosen the wing screw and adjust the block to the
desired distance from the blade for the cut being made. Once the stop
block is installed it may be flipped up and back out of the way if not
needed.
ATTACHING WORK EXTENSIONS
The work extensions are installed using the clamp brackets and
screws shown in figure 18. To install the extensions, carefully tilt the
miter saw backwards exposing the underside of the base. Hold the
clamp bracket against the bracket support shown in figure 20. Slide
the work extension through the holes in the miter saw base and over
the clamp bracket (figure 21). Tighten the bracket with the clamp
bracket screw. Repeat the procedure on the opposite side of the saw
for the remaining work extension.
Adjustments
PERFORM ALL ADJUSTMENTS WITH THE MITER SAW
UNPLUGGED
NOTE: Your miter saw is fully and accurately adjusted at the factory at
the time of manufacture. If readjustment 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 6. (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 7 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 exactly perpendicular to the
fence, loosen the two screws that hold the handle to the base (shown
in Figure 8) and move the arm of the saw left or right until the blade is
perpendicular to the fence, as measured with the square. Retighten
