SAW MOUNTED TO WORK SURFACE (FIG. A)
1. If the leg set will not be used, the saw must be
properly secured to a sturdy workbench using the
four mounting holes at the base of the saw.
2. The surface of the table where the saw is to be
mounted must have a hole large enough to facilitate
sawdust fall-through and removal.
3. Square the saw on the mounting surface and mark
the location of the four 3/8" mounting holes (1).
4. Drill 3/8" hole into the mounting surface.
5. Mark an 11" square (2) centered between the four
mounting holes (1).
6. Cut out and remove the square.
7. This opening will allow sawdust to fall through the
saw base.
8. Place the saw on the work surface, and align the
mounting holes of the saw with those drilled through
the surface.
9. Fasten the saw to the work surface.
Do not operate this machine o the floor-this is a very
dangerious position.

BLADE RAISING HANDWHEEL (FIG. C)

Failure to provide the sawdust fall-through hole will
cause sawdust to build up in the motor area, which
may result in fire or cause motor damage.
KEEPING THE AREA CLEAN (FIG. B)
1. Sawdust and wood chips that fall from under the
saw will accumulate on the floor.
2. Make it a practice to pick up and discard this dust
when you have completed cutting.
Always keep your work area clean, uncluttered and
well lit. Do not work on floor surfaces that are
slippery from sawdust or wax.
BLADE TILTING HANDWHEEL (FIG. D)
1. Attach the other handwheel (6) to the blade tilting
screw on the side of the saw in the same manner
as above.
2. Attach and tighten the handwheel dome nut (5).
