MOUNTING
HOLES
Your cut-off machine should be permanently mounted
to a firm supporting
surface such as workbench. The
four bolt holes that secure the feet on the bottom of
the base can be used for this purpose. Using a 6 mm
hex key, remove bolts, washers, and feet from bottom
of cut-off machine. The four mounting
holes should be
bolted securely using 8 rnm machine bolts, lock
washers, and flat washers (not included).
Bolts should
be of sufficient length to accommodate
reck washers,
flat washers, thickness of the workbench, and suffi-
ciently engage bolt hole threads in bottom of the
base.
Tighten all four bolts securely.
The hole pattern for mounting to a workbench is
shown in figure 16, 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 work bench to the floor before operat-
ing,
