Remove and install the table insert

(Fig. 13)
CAUTION: The miter saw comes with the table insert
already installed. These instructions are for replacing
or adjusting either insert side.
WARNING: The table insert must be below the miter
table. If the table insert is too high or too low, the
workpiece can catch on the uneven edges resulting in
binding which could result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: To avoid injury, ALWAYS unplug the saw
to avoid accidental starting. Remove all small pieces
of material from the table cavity before performing
any cuts. The table insert may be removed for this
purpose, but always reattach the table insert prior to
performing a cutting operation.
WARNING: Do not start the miter saw without
checking for interference between the blade and
table insert. Damage could result to the blade,
table insert or working table if blade strike
occurs during the cutting operation.
Never operate the saw without a table insert installed.
To remove / install:
Unplug the saw.

Check for blade clearance by moving the slide bar
through full motion the blade in table slot. If either side
of the table insert hits the saw blade, loosen the three
screws for that side and adjust. Tighten the screws and

Removing and installing the blade

(Fig. 14a-14c)
WARNING: Only use a 10" (254 mm) diameter blade.
Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the outer
ange to engage with the ats on the arbor. Larger
blades will come in contact with the blade guards,
while thicker blades will prevent the arbor bolt from
securing the blade on the arbor. Either of these
situations could result in a serious accident and can
cause serious personal injury. To avoid injury from an
accidental start, make sure the switch is in the OFF
position and the plug is not connected to the power
source outlet.
WARNING: Make sure the arbor lock is not engaged
before reconnecting saw to power source. Never
engage arbor lock when blade is rotating.
Unplug the saw.
Raise the lower blade guard out of the way and hold it
up.
Loosen the screw until it disengages the guard plate

If replacing a used blade, remove the blade . Install the
new blade. Make sure that the blade's rotation arrow
points in the same direction as the rotation arrow on the
upper blade guard.
Replace the outer ange , at washer and arbor bolt
. Position the cupped side of the outer ange against
5
the blade. Hold in the arbor lock and use wrench to
tighten the arbor bolt by turning it counter-clockwise.
Release the arbor lock.
Rotate the guard plate back into place and secure it with
the guard plate screw.
WARNING: Make sure the lower blade guard operates
smoothly and properly protects from the blade before
using the saw.
WARNING: To avoid injury, never use the saw
without the guard plate securely in place. It keeps the
arbor bolt from falling out if it accidentally loosens
and helps prevent the spinning blade from coming o
the saw.
