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.
