Assembly
Attaching the Extension Supports
and Miter Lock Handle
1. Insert the ends of the Extension Supports into
the holes in the sides of the Base. Tighten the
Wing Screws to hold the Extensions in place.
The upper edge of the Extensions will be level
with the surface of the saw. This provides a
wider base for the work material to rest on.
2. Thread the Miter Lock Handle into the
Plate until securely in place.
Mounting the Saw
The Miter Saw must be mounted on a support
before use. This may be a commercially
available support or home made saw table.
There are bolt holes provided in each of the
four legs of the base. These should be firmly
mounted using bolts (not included) to your
saw stand or saw table (not included). This will
help prevent tipping or movement of the saw,
preventing injury. Also, the use of a saw table
will make it easier to efficiently handle work
materials and make more accurate cuts.
