WARNING:
It is important to securely
anchor the miter saw to a stable work

and possibly causing serious injury to the
operator. It will also make the saw easier to

must be purchased separately.
It is strongly recommended to anchor the miter
saw using either 5/16" lag bolts and flat washers
or appropriate 5/16" bolts through the four base

NOTE: Do not over tighten the bolts. You may
break the base casting.
