FASTENING MACHINE TO
SUPPORTING SURFACE
Before operating your compound miter saw, make sure
it is firmly mounted to a sturdy workbench or other
supporting surface. Four holes are provided, two of which
are shown at (A) Fig. 9.
When frequently moving the saw from place to place, we
suggest that the saw be mounted to a 3/4" piece of
plywood. The tool can then be easily moved from place
to place and the plywood clamped to the supporting
surface using "C" clamps.
