WARNING:
Do not use this product if any parts on the Loose Parts
List are already assembled to your product when you

product by the manufacturer and require customer instal-
lation. Use of a product that may have been improperly

damage occurred during shipping.
Do not discard the packing material until you have

NOTE: A box containing some of the Loose Parts is
inside the saw cabinet. Also, remove the foam blocks
from between the saw’s housing and motor by beveling
the blade (see page 26).
The saw is factory set for accurate cutting. After
assembling it, check for accuracy. If shipping has
influenced the settings, refer to specific procedures
explained in this manual.

WARNING:
Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories
not recommended for use with this tool. Any such altera-
tion or modification is misuse and could result in a hazard-
ous condition leading to possible serious personal injury.

WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always make sure the
table saw is securely mounted to a workbench or an
approved leg stand. NEVER operate the saw on the floor.
MOUNTING HOLES
This tool comes mounted to a leg stand. If you chose to
remove the leg stand, the table saw must be mounted to
a firm supporting surface such as a workbench. Four bolt
holes have been provided in the saw’s base for this pur-
pose. Each of the four mounting holes should be bolted
securely using 5/16 in. machine bolts, lock washers, and hex
nuts (not included). Bolts should be of sufficient length to
accommodate the saw base, lock washers, hex nuts, and the
thickness of the workbench. Tighten all four bolts 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.
TO ATTACH THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY
See Figure 6.
Locate the bolt screwed through the leg stand and saw
cabinet on the left side of the saw.
Unscrew the bolt then remove bolt, spacers, and flat
washers from the saw.
Place a flat washer on the bolt then slide the bolt/washer
into the hole in the center of the wheel.
Place a second flat washer then small spacer on the bolt.
Slide the bolt into the leg stand and large spacer.
Place a sleeve inside the leg stand aligning the sleeve
ends with holes in the stand and fixed nut.
Slide the entire combination into the holes and through
the sleeve. Tighten securely.
Repeat with the second wheel assembly.
