ASSEMBLY
TABLE EXTENSION
See Figure 11.
The table extension can be used on the left side of your miter
saw. To assemble and install the table extension:
Insert socket head screw and washer into the two holes
in the side of the miter saw base.
Tighten securely.
TO INSTALL BLADE
See Figure 12.
WARNING:
A 10 in. (254 mm) blade is the maximum blade
capacity of your saw. Never use a blade that is too
thick to allow outer blade washer to engage with the
flats on the spindle. Larger blades will come in
contact with the blade guards, while thicker blades
will prevent the blade bolt from securing the blade
on the spindle. Either of these situations could re-
sult in a serious accident and can cause serious
personal injury.
Unplug your saw.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your saw could result in acciden-
tal starting causing possible serious personal in-
jury.
Raise saw arm.
Rotate lower blade guard up and remove screw B. Ro-
tate blade bolt cover up and back to expose the blade
bolt.
Depress the spindle lock button and rotate the blade bolt
until the spindle locks.
Using the wrench provided, loosen and remove the blade
bolt.
See Figure 12.
Note: The blade bolt has left hand threads. Turn blade
bolt clockwise to loosen.
Remove outer blade washer. Do not remove inner blade
washer.
Wipe a drop of oil onto inner blade washer and outer
blade washer where they contact the blade.
WARNING:
If inner blade washer has been removed, replace it
before placing blade on spindle. Failure to do so
could cause an accident since blade will not tighten
properly.
