ASSEMBLY
MOUNTING HOLES
See Figure 7.
The table saw must be mounted to a firm supporting surface
such as a workbench or leg stand. Four bolt holes have been
provided in the saw’s base for this purpose.
To mount the saw to a work bench, insert bolts that are
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.
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.
INSTALLING THE HANDLE
See Figure 8.
Remove the hex nut from the bolt in the handle but do
not remove the bolt.
Slide the washer onto the bolt.
Place the hex nut into the recessed hole on the back of
the height/bevel adjusting handwheel and hold in place.
Insert the handle and screw into the hole on the height/
bevel adjusting handwheel.
Using a flathead screwdriver, turn the screw clockwise
and tighten in place.
Cover the end of the handle with the cap.
REMOVING/REINSTALLING THE THROAT
PLATE
See Figure 9.
WARNING:
If the throat plate is too high or too low, the workpiece
can catch on the uneven edges resulting in binding or
kickback which could result in serious personal injury.
Verify the throat plate is correctly seated. Before turning
on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation to
make sure that no problems will occur when the cut is
made. If the workpiece catches, do not attempt to use
the saw. Contact customer service for assistance.
Lower the blade by turning the height/bevel adjusting
handwheel counterclockwise.
To remove the throat plate, rotate the knob to the unlocked
position. Place your index finger into the hole, lift and pull
the throat plate out toward the front of the saw.
To reinstall the throat plate, rotate the knob to the unlocked
position. Place throat plate back onto the saw and rotate
the knob to the locked position.
