Alternate Attachment

The smaller mounting holes at each corner can be
used for nails or longer drywall screws.
The supporting surface where the saw is to be
mounted should be examined carefully after
mounting to ensure that no movement can occur
during use. If any tipping or walking is noted, se-
cure the workbench or stand before operating the
miter saw.
Be careful not to over-drive nail
CAUTION
or over-torque the bolt. This
could crack foot or damage base.
Temporary Mounting Using Clamps
• If necessary, clamp the miter saw to a workbench
or table top.
• Place two or more "C" clamps on the clamping
areas and secure (see Figure 21). There are
clamping areas at all four corners of the saw.
For safety, the switch lever is designed to prevent
accidental starts. To operate safety switch, slide the
switch "Lock-OFF" toggle with either thumb to dis-
engage the lock, then pull the power switch lever
and release the switch "Lock-OFF" toggle (Figure
22). When the power switch lever is released, the
switch "Lock-OFF" toggle will engage the power
switch lever automatically, and the lever will no
longer operate until either "Lock-Off" toggle is en-
gaged again(see Figure 22)
NOTE: Switch lever can accommodate a padlock
with a long shackle of up to 1/4" in diameter (not
provided with miter saw) to prevent unauthorized
use.
• Be careful not to place clamps over the base ex-
tension clamping levers (see Figure 21).
• Mounting with clamps may prevent access to
some wide miter angles.
