Attaching Miter Saw To The Stand; Using A Mounting Platform - Delta 36-267 Instruction Manual

ATTACHING THE MITER SAW TO THE STAND
NOTE: This stand comes with four M8 x 55mm bolts

different number or size of mounting bolt, use hardware
that will properly secure your saw. Make sure bolt ends
do not extend above the saw table.
NOTE: The DELTA 36-267 miter saw stand is designed
to work with virtually all miter saws. In the event that

The platform can be made from any rectangular or
square piece of wood scrap that is at least ½-inch thick
and large enough to extend beyond the saw's base by at
least an inch.
1. Unlock and remove mounting brackets from the rails.
Place them upside down on the top of board so that
they are centered top to bottom and aligned with the
edge of the board.
2. Use a pencil to mark the midpoint in the top and
bottom slots on each bracket.
