Four bolt holes have been provided in the saw base for
this purpose. Each of the four mounting holes should be
bolted securely using 3/8 in. machine bolts, lock washers,
and hex nuts (not included). Bolts should be of sufficient
length to accommodate the saw base, lock washers, hex
nuts, and the thickness of the workbench.

The hole pattern for mounting to a workbench is shown in
figure 8. Carefully check the workbench after mounting to
make sure that no movement can occur during use. If any
tipping, sliding, or walking is noted, secure the workbench
to the floor before operating.
