FASTENING MITER SAW TO WORKBENCH OR LEG
SET (9.22246)
DISCONNECT MITER SAW FROM POWER SUPPLY
if the miter saw Is to be used in a permanent loca-
tion, it should be fastened securely to a firm suppor-
ting surface such as a workbench or accessory leg
set (9-22246). It Is recommended that the saw be
mounted so that the saw table Is approximately 39"
above the floor, However, for your convenience and
safety you might require a different height, in all
cases care must be taken to assure operator vislblll-
ty of cutting area. Holes should be drilled through
supporting surface of the workbench as illustrated
in Figure 2. Each leg of the miter saw should be
bolted securely using 5/16' diameter machine bolts,
5/16" hex nuts, and lock washers. Bolts should be of
sufficient length to accommodate legs of miter saw,
washers, hex nuts, and thickness of supporting sur-
face. Tighten all four bolts securely, if the saw Is to
be used in a portable application, It is recommended
that It be fastened to a mounting board. The board
should be of sufficient size to avoid tipping of saw
while in use. Any good grade of plywood or chip.
board with a 3/4" minimum thickness Is recom.
mended, Mount saw to board using hole pattern as
shown in Figure 2 and described above. Clamp board
securely to workbench.
SECURING WORKBENCH AND LEGS TO FLOOR
DISCONNECT MITER SAW FROM POWER SUPPLY
The supporting surface where miter saw is mounted
should be examined carefully after mounting to in-
sure that no movement during use can result. If any
"tipping" or "walking" is noted, secure workbench
legs, or supporting surface before operating.
