ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect machine from
power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing
set-ups or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Bench Mounting (Fig. A1)
• Holes are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting. Bolts with a diameter
14
of 6 mm and 80 mm in length are suggested. Always mount your saw firmly to prevent
movement. To enhance the portability, the tool can be mounted to a piece of 19 mm or
thicker plywood which can then be clamped to your work support or moved to other job
sites and re-clamped.
• When mounting your saw to a piece of plywood, make sure that the mounting screws
do not protrude from the bottom of the wood. The plywood must sit flush on the work
support. When clamping the saw to any work surface, clamp only on the feet where the
mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at any other point will interfere with the
proper operation of the saw.
• To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the mounting surface is not warped or
otherwise uneven. If the saw rocks on the surface, place a thin piece of material under one
saw foot until the saw is firm on the mounting surface.
Mounting The Upper Guard (Fig. B)
1. Fasten the guard to the riving knife
