checking for interference between the saw blade and
the sliding miter fences. Damage could result to the
blade if it strikes the miter fence during operation of
the saw.

MOUNTING HOLES
See Figure 7.
The compound miter saw should be permanently mount-
ed to a firm supporting surface such as a workbench.
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. Tighten all four
bolts or screws securely. Do not use screws if mounting to
a leg stand.
The hole pattern for mounting to a 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.
