Ryobi BT3000 Operator's Manual page 8

When used for jig saw mounting, this kit can be used with all
Ryobi jig saws, plus most other brands of jig saws. Proper
mounting of the jig saw base to the clamping brackets will
determine which saws will work. The jig saw must be mounted
securely for safety.
TO ASSEMBLE JIG SAW TO MOUNTING PLATE
See Figure 10.
1. Figure 10 illustrates the correct orientation of parts and
pieces for mounting your jig saw to its mounting plate.
2. The front of jig saw should be facing the squared end of
mounting plate, while the rear of saw faces mitered
corners.
3. The front clamping bracket (formed bracket) mounts on
the squared end of mounting plate. Therefore, front
clamping bracket will secure front of jig saw base to
mounting plate.
4. The rear clamping bracket (flat bracket) mounts on the
end with mitered corners and secures rear of jig saw
base to mounting plate.
Hint:
5. Loosely attach front and rear clamping brackets to
mounting plate using the #10-24 x 3/4 in. flat head
screws provided. Note: Thread head of screws thru
countersunk side of mounting plate.
