Mounting The Miter Saw

WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from unexpected saw
movement:
a.Before moving the saw, lock the
miter and bevel knobs and lock
the power head in the lower
position. Unplug electric cord.
b.To reduce the risk of back
injury, hold the tool close to
your body when lifting. Bend
your knees so you can lift with
your legs, not your back. Lift by
using the hand-hold areas at
each side of the bottom of the
base or by the carrying handle.
c.Never carry the miter saw by
the power cord or the trigger
grip of the plastic handle. Car-
rying the tool by the power
cord could cause damage to
the insulation or the wire con-
nections resulting in electric
shock or fire.
d.Place the saw so other people
cannot stand behind it. Thrown
debris could injure people in
its path.
e.Place the saw on a firm, level
surface where there is plenty of
room for handling and properly
supporting the workpiece.
f. Support the saw so the table is
level and the saw does not rock.
g.Bolt or clamp the saw to its support.

Mounting Saw on Supplied Legset

1. Locate 4 bolts, 4 washers and 4 nuts in
parts bag.
2. Position leg set at the desired location .
3. Mount the miter saw as shown with pro-
vided hardware. Only finger tighten
nuts at this time.
4. If necessary shift the leg set to adjust
for slightly unlevel floor. Securely
tighten all hardware.

Mounting Board or Work Surface
Place the saw in the desired location
either on a work bench or other recom-
mended leg set. The base of the saw has
eight holes to mount the miter saw. Four
smaller holes for "drywall" screws are
labeled A. Four holes for bolts are labeled
B (see illustration). If the saw is to be used
in one location, permanently fasten it to
the work bench or leg set.
NOTE: When mounted on a large flat sur-
face, the miter saw table is 3 1/2" high. A
finished 4x4 or a supported 2x4 on edge
can be used as work support extension.

Portable Applications

To mount the saw to a 3/4" piece of ply-
wood, use 4, 1/4" bolt holes or the 4 dry-
wall screw holes. The mounting board can
then be clamped down to prevent it from
tipping. Plywood mount also helps protect
saw from damage during the rough han-
dling associated with portable miter saw
usage.
