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.
