WARNING:
Do not start the compound miter saw without checking for
interference between the blade and the miter fence. Damage
could result to the blade if it strikes the miter fence during
operation of the saw.
WARNING:
This saw can tip over if the saw head is released suddenly
and the saw is not secured to a work surface. ALWAYS
secure this saw to a stable work surface before any use to
avoid serious personal injury.
MOUNTING HOLES
See Figure 7.
WARNING:
Always make sure the compound miter saw is securely
mounted to a workbench or an approved workstand.
Failure to heed this warning can result in serious
personal injury.
The compound miter saw should be mounted to a firm
supporting surface such as a workbench. Four bolt holes
have been provided in the saw base for this purpose. Each
of the four mounting holes should be bolted securely using
3/8 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.
The hole pattern for mounting to a workbench is shown in fig-
ure 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.
