Mounting The Miter Saw - Craftsman 113.234940 Owner's Manual

Mounting The Miter Saw
WARNING: To avoid injury from unexpected saw
movement:
a. Before moving the saw, lock the miter lock
knob and lock the power head in the lower
position using the lock pin. Unplug electric
cord.
b. To avoid back injury, get help when you need
to lift the saw more than 10 inches. Hold the
tool close to your body when lifting. Bend your
knees so you can lift with your legs, not you r
back. Lift by using the hand-hold areas at each
side of the bottom of the base.
c. Never carry the miter saw by the power cord or
the trigger handle. Carrying the tool by the
power cord could cause damage to the insula-
tion or the wire connections resulting in elec-
tric 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 prop-
erly 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.
Place the saw in the desired location. The base of the
saw has nine holes to mount the miter saw labeled A thru
J. Four smaller holes for "drywall" screws are labeled F,
G, H and J. Five holes for 5/16" bolts are labeled A, B, C,
D and E (see illustration). If the saw is to be used in one
location, fasten it to the work bench.
NOTE: When mounted on a large flat surface, the miter saw
table is 3-1/2" high. A finished 4 x 4 or a supported 2 x 4 on
edge can be used as work support extension.
