Mounting to Workbench
See figure 8.
If saw is to be used in a permanent location,
it should be fastened securely to a firm
supporting surface such as a stand or
workbench, using the four mounting holes.
When mounting saw to a workbench or
plywood, holes should be drilled through
the supporting surface of the workbench or
plywood and an opening MUST be made the
same size as the opening in the bottom of the
saw, so the saw dust can drop through.
Each of the four mounting holes should be
bolted securely using 5/16” hex nuts (not
included). Screw lengths should be 2” longer
than the thickness of the bench top.
1. Locate and mark where the saw is to be
mounted.
2.
Drill four (4) 3/8” diameter holes through
workbench.
3.
Place saw on workbench aligning holes in base with holes drilled in workbench.
4. Insert four (4) 5/16” screws and tighten.
Mounting to Plywood
See figure 9.
An alternative method of securing your saw is
to fasten the saw base to a mounting board 24”
x 24” minimum size to prevent saw from tipping
while in use. Any good grade of plywood with a
3/4” minimum thickness is recommended.
1. Follow instructions for mounting to
workbench, substituting a plywood board
24” x 33” minimum size and using 5/16” flat
head machine screws, flat washers, and hex
nuts (not included). Screw length must be
so screws do not protrude above table top
surface. Insert screws up through mounting
board and through base holes. Place flat
washers on stud and secure with hex nuts.
NOTE: For proper stability, holes must be
counter sunk on bottom side of plywood so
screw heads are flush with the bottom surface
of the supporting board.
2. Securely clamp board to workbench using two or more “C” clamps, as shown.
Supporting surface where saw is to be mounted should be examined carefully after mounting
to insure that no movement can occur during use. If any tipping or walking is noted, secure the
workbench or stand before operating the table saw.
