all unpainted surfaces. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene (do not use acetone,
gasoline or lacquer thinner for this purpose). After cleaning, cover the unpainted surfaces with a good quality household
floor paste wax.

* Phillips head screwdriver
* 13mm wrench for stand bolts
* 10mm wrench for splitter assembly bolts
* Straight edge and/or framing square for adjustments
ASSEMBLY TIME ESTIMATE - 1 hour
THE SAW MUST BE PROPERLY SECURED TO A SUPPORTING SURFACE. ALSO, FAILURE TO
PROVIDE A SAWDUST FALL-THROUGH AND REMOVAL HOLE WILL ALLOW SAWDUST TO BUILD
UP AROUND THE MOTOR, CAUSING A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD AND/OR MOTOR DAMAGE.

ELEVATING AND SUPPORTING SURFACES FOR A SAW WITH NO STAND
A
The saw must be elevated enough for sawdust to fall
through the bottom of the saw and not build up around
the motor.
Position the four mounting holes located on the base
of the saw cabinet (two of which are shown at (A) Fig.
4A) over whatever proper support you are using. Then
securely fasten the saw to the supports. The saw can
be secured by fastening the stand through the
mounting holes with suitable hardware (not supplied).
THE SAW SUPPORT MUST BE STABLE
AND ABLE TO SUPPORT 300 POUNDS.
You can also construct a simple elevated support, as
shown in Fig. 4B.
USE A GOOD GRADE OF PLYWOOD
WITH A MINIMUM 3/4" THICKNESS.
DO NOT MAKE THE MOUNTING BOARD FROM
PARTICLE BOARD SINCE PARTICLE BOARD
BREAKS EASILY.
A HOLE MUST BE PROVIDED IN THIS
SUPPORT TO ALLOW SAWDUST TO
FALL THROUGH.
Square the saw on the supporting surface and mark the
location for four 5/16 inch holes to be drilled (Fig. 4B).
MAKE SURE THERE IS AT LEAST 3"
ON ALL FOUR SIDES OF THE BASE.
Set the saw aside and then drill holes in these marks.
Locate and mark an 11" or 12" square centered
between the four mounting holes. Cut out and remove
the square (Fig. 4B).
To elevate the supporting surface, measure two 2x4s
(A) Fig. 4B to the width of two opposite sides of the
supporting surface. Attach the supporting surface to
the narrow edges of the 2X4s (as shown in Fig. 4B)
using wood screws (not provided) in at least three
spots (B) Fig. 4B on each side.

Fasten the saw to the surface by inserting suitable
hardware (not supplied) through the mounting holes on
the saw and into the previously drilled holes. While
using the saw, periodically remove the sawdust buildup
from below the saw.
