See Figure 11.
A blade wrench is included with this saw. One end of the
wrench is a Phillips screwdriver and the other end is a hex
key. Use the hex key end when installing or removing blade
and the Phillips end when removing or loosening screws.
A storage area for the blade wrench is located in the base
as shown in figure 11.
WORK CLAMP
See Figure 11.
WARNING:
In some operations, the work clamp assembly may
interfere with the operation of the blade guard assem-
bly. Always make sure there is no interference with the
blade guard prior to beginning any cutting operation to
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
The work clamp provides greater control by clamping the
workpiece to the fence. It also prevents the workpiece from
creeping toward the saw blade. This is very helpful when
cutting compound miters.
Depending on the cutting operation and the size of the
workpiece, it may be necessary to use a C-clamp or other
suitable clamp instead of the work clamp to secure the
workpiece to the miter table prior to making the cut.
To install the work clamp:
 Place the shaft of the work clamp in either hole on the
miter table base.
 Rotate the knob on the work clamp clockwise to move
it in or counterclockwise to move it out as needed.
TO INSTALL/REPLACE THE BLADE
See Figures 12 - 13.
The blade is shipped installed on this miter saw model.
Instructions have been included for reference when chang-
ing or replacing blades.
WARNING:
A 10 in. blade is the maximum blade capacity of the
saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow outer
blade washer to engage with the flats on the arbor.
Larger blades will come in contact with the blade
guards, while thicker blades will prevent the blade bolt
from securing the blade on the arbor. Either of these
situations could result in a serious accident and can
cause serious personal injury.
 Unplug the saw.
 Raise saw arm.
