Place the saw on a smooth,

Press down lightly on the operating handle and pull out the
lock down pin, as shown in Figure 2. Gently release the
downward pressure and hold the arm allowing it to rise to its
full height. Use the lock down pin when carrying the saw
from one place to another. Always use the carrying handle
to transport the saw or the hand indentations shown in
Figure 2.
Bench Mounting
Holes are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mount-
ing, as shown in Figure 2. (Two different sized holes are
provided to accommodate different sizes of screws. Use
either hole, it is not necessary to use both.) Always mount
your saw firmly to a stable surface to prevent movement.
To enhance the tool's portability, it can be mounted to a
piece of 1/2" or thicker plywood which can then be
clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites
and reclamped.
