ASSEMBLY
WORKSTAND SET-UP
See Figures 4 - 5.
Before You Start
n If a miter saw is already assembled to the stand, make
sure that it is securely attached to the stand per the
instructions in this manual.
n If a compound miter saw is already assembled to the
stand, make sure to place the blade 90° to the table (if
applicable). Miter the blade to the right as far as it will
go, place the blade in the "locked down" position, and
lock all knobs and levers.
n If a slide compound miter saw is already assembled to
the stand, follow the above steps plus slide the head/
blade assembly to the front of the saw and lock the slide
rails.

Do not lift by any part of the miter saw that is
attached to the workstand. Failure to do so may
result in possible injury and damage the tool.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury when lifting, bend
your knees so you can lift with your legs, not your
back.
n The sliding legs will follow tracks on the underside of the
table to their engaged position near the handle end of
the table.
n Return table to horizontal position. The table should
now rest firmly on top of the sliding legs. If not, repeat
"pull up and set down" motion.

NOTE: You may need to adjust the speed at which you raise
the table in order to get the sliding leg to catch in the notch.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, make sure sliding leg
is secured in the notch by the lock lever. Failure to
latch may cause stand to fall in use.
