MOUNTING THE MITER SAW (FIG. 8, 9, 10)
WARNING
To avoid injury from unexpected saw movement:
● Disconnect the power cord from the outlet and
lock the cutting head in the lower position using
the stop latch.
● Lock the slide carriage in place by tightening the
slide carriage lock knob.
● To avoid back injury, lift the saw by using the hand
holds for transportation. Bend with your knees, not
your back.
● Never carry the miter saw by the power cord or by
the switch handle. Carrying the tool by the power
cord could cause damage to the insulation or the
wire connections resulting in electric shock or fire.
● To avoid injury from flying debris, do not allow
visitors to stand near the saw during any cutting
operations.
Mounting instructions:
● For stationary use, place the saw in the desired
location, directly on a workbench where there
is room for handling and proper support of the
workpiece. The base of the saw has four mounting
holes (10) (Fig. 8). Bolt the base of the miter saw
(1) to the work surface (5), using the recommended
fastening method as shown in Fig. 9.
NOTE: Mounting hardware is not included with
this tool. Bolts, nuts, washers and screws must be
purchased separately.
● For portable use, place the saw on a 3/4 in. thick
piece of plywood. Bolt the base of the miter saw
securely to the plywood using the mounting holes
(10) (Fig. 8) on the base. Use C-clamps to clamp
this mounting board to a stable work surface at
the worksite (Fig. 10).
NOTE: If a miter saw stand is used, please follow all
instructions shown in that product's instructions for
proper mounting.
