II. ATTACH THE DUST COLLECTION TRAY

The dust tray,

, is affixed to the saw stand top with the 

fasteners,

, using the two holes in the stand top. Ideally, a dust

collector hose would be clamped to the spout in the center of
the tray. Otherwise, periodically turn the swivel tabs,

, to

remove and empty the tray well before the sawdust reaches
the saw blade and motor.

III. FASTEN THE SAW TO THE STAND OR TO YOUR SHOP-MADE

BENCH

1.

Place the saw onto the stand with its front end along
one of the stand’s shorter ends and align the four
holes in the stand’s top shelf with those in the saw
base. Fasten saw to stand using the 4 hex head
screws, 4 nuts and 8 washers supplied with the stand,

.

2.

If the saw is to be used without our supplied stand,
use the four holes on the bottom ledge of the saw
cabinet to fasten the saw to your supporting surface.
Use the measurements shown at 

to drill corre-

sponding holes into your shop-built stand. (Or care-
fully position the saw upon your bench and with a
pencil trace the four holes onto the stand surface.
Drill the holes with a 7/16 bit.

IV. ASSEMBLE THE RAISING AND TILTING  HANDWHEELS AND

LOCK KNOBS

1.

Place the wheels in position over the raising and 
tilting screws being sure to engage the slots,

, in

back of  each wheel with the rollpins,

, as shown

at right.

2.

Screw on lock knobs 

, to hold wheels in place,

then attach silver handles,

tightening them with

the supplied 12 mm combination wrench.

3.

To use raising and tilting wheels, loosen lock nuts
(but not too much or rollpins will disengage from
slots), turn wheels to desired position and retighten
lock nuts. Do not operate saw with lock nuts untigh-
tened as the blade could move out of position.

A cutout hole must be provided in your wood
stand or bench for sawdust removal.

Secure stand or bench to floor if during use there
is any tendency for the saw to tip over, slide or
crawl.
