b. Engage the concave front lip of the mounting bracket with
rounded front edge of beam. One of the mounting brackets
must be engaged in the locator clip (D) to prohibit lateral
movement of the saw during use.
3. When the front edge of beam and locator clip are engaged, a slight
downward pivot will allow secure engagement of the release levers
to the back of the beam. Follow same procedure with second
mounting bracket at the appropriate position on the beam for the
size of the plywood.
4. Place plywood onto mounting brackets and align drilled holes
with slots in mounting brackets. Refer to DW7231 Hardware
Selection Chart and use either Method 1 or 2 to secure plywood
