Workbench permanent attachment
To prevent the tool from sliding, falling or
tipping from a raised work surface during
operation, the saw should be mounted to a firm
supporting surface such as a level, sturdy work
table.
a. Each of the four mounting holes should be
bolted securely using 5/16" (M8) bolts, lock
washers, and hex nuts (not included) as
shown in Fig. 20a.
b. Locate and mark where the saw is to be
mounted.
c. Drill four 5/16" (8mm) diameter holes through
workbench.
d. Place the miter saw on the workbench,
aligning holes in the base with holes drilled
in the workbench. Install bolts, lock washers,
and hex nuts.
Alternate attachment

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
occur during use. If any tipping or walking is
