Mounting Applications

Nail Hole
— Never lift tool by holding switch handle. This
may cause serious damage.
— Never carry the miter saw by the power cord or
the operational handle. Attempting to lift or carry
the tool by the power cord will damage the insula-
tion and the wire connections resulting in electric
shock or fire.
— Observe the position of the saw. People standing
behind it could be injured by thrown debris.

1. Each of the four mounting holes should be bolted
securely using 5/16" bolts, lock washers, and hex
nuts (not included).
2. Locate and mark where the saw is to be mounted.
3. Drill four (4) 5/16" diameter holes through work-
bench.
4. Place the miter saw on the workbench aligning
holes in base with holes drilled in workbench.
Install bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. As an
alternative, you can mount the saw using drywall
screws in the four nail holes.
Supporting surface where saw is to be mounted
should be examined carefully after mounting to
ensure that no movement can occur during use. If
any tipping or walking is noted, secure the work-
bench or stand before operating the slide com-
