4. Once the carriage bolt (hardware bag) is installed per DW7231-XE Hardware
Selection Chart, assemble a flat washer, lock washer and nut onto the bolt.
Tighten the bolts finger tight.
5. Repeat procedure on the other end of the bracket.
6. Move the 2 x 4 to the other side of the saw to hold the other end of the saw up in
order to access the saw base.
7. Feed carriage bolts through the other bracket and the base of the saw as before.
Ensure both brackets are parallel to each other.
8. To place the saw onto the stand, grasp and lift saw by mounting bracket
assembly by the release levers. These levers do not lock the saw laterally in
place but merely serve as a means of mounting the saw to the beam.

9. Approach the beam with saw/bracket assembly
tilting toward your body slightly. Engage the concave
front lip of the mounting bracket with rounded edge
of beam. One of the brackets must engage the
locator clip (I) to prohibit lateral movement of the
saw during use.
10. When front edge of the beam and locking locator
clip are engaged, a slight downward pivot will allow secure engagement of the
release levers to the back of the beam. Rock the saw gently on the brackets to
verify locking in position.
11. Adjust the saw position as necessary to have the blade perpendicular to the
beam when in the 0 degree miter position.
12. Tighten the four nuts holding the saw to the brackets securely.
