Mounting Applications

Be certain the miter saw is
mounted or placed on a lev-
el, firm work surface before using. A level and
firm work surface reduces the risk of the miter
saw becoming unstable.
Workbench Permanent Attachment
1. Each of the four mounting holes (Fig. 26)
in the tool mounting pads (13) should be
bolted securely using 5/16" (M8) bolts, lock
washers and hex nuts (not included).

2. Locate and mark where the saw is to be
mounted.
3. Drill four 5/16" (8mm) diameter holes
through work-bench.
4. Place the miter saw on the workbench, align-
ing holes in base with holes drilled in work-
bench. Install bolts, lock washers and hex
nuts.
Alternate Attachment
Be careful not to over-drive
nail or over-torque the bolt.
This could crack foot or damage base.
The smaller mounting holes at each corner can
be used for nails or longer drywall screws.
The supporting surface where the saw is to be
mounted should be examined carefully after

mounting to ensure that no movement can oc-
cur during use. If any tipping or walking is noted,
secure the workbench or stand before operating
the miter saw.
Temporary Mounting Using Clamps
• If necessary, clamp the miter saw to a work-
bench or table top.
• Place two or more "C" clamps on the
clamping areas (Fig. 27) and secure. There
are clamping areas at all four corners of the
saw.
• Mounting with clamps may prevent access
to some wide miter angles.
