MOUNTING
HOLES
See Figure 7.
Your compound miter saw should be permanently
mounted to a firm supporting surface such as work-
bench. Four 7/16 in. bolt holes have been provided in
the saw base for this purpose. Each of the tour
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.
Tighten all four bolts securely.
The hole pattern for an 18 in. x 24 in. workbench is
shown in Figure 7. 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.
_IL WARNING:
Always make sure your compound
miter saw is securely mounted to a workbench or
an approved workstand. Failure to do so could
result in an accident resulting in possible serious
personal injury.
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
Your saw has a precision built electric motor. It should
be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts,
60 Hz, AC only (normal household
current). Do not
operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial
voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor
will overheat. If your tool does not operate when
plugged into an outlet, double-check the power
supply.
