WARNING:
Before starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt
your miter saw to a workbench or an approved miter
saw stand. If a miter saw stand is used, read operator’s
manual and follow the instructions for the miter saw
stand. Never operate your miter saw on the floor or in
a crouched position. Failure to heed this warning can
result in serious personal injury.
The compound miter saw should be mounted to a firm sup
-
porting surface such as a workbench, mounting board, or
miter saw stand. The saw base has four mounting holes. If
using bolts or screws, they should be of sufficient length to
accommodate the saw base, lock washers, hex nuts, and
the thickness of the workbench or other mounting surface.
Tighten all bolts or screws securely.
The hole pattern for mounting to a workbench is shown in
figure 7. Carefully check the workbench after mounting to
make sure that no movement can occur during use. If any
tipping, sliding, or walking is noted, secure the workbench
to the floor before operating.
