Mounting the saw to the
workbench (Fig .13a, 13b)
WARNING
Before starting any
cutting operation, clamp
or bolt your miter saw to a workbench or an
approved miter saw stand .
If a miter saw
stand is used, read the operator’s manual and
follow the instructions for the miter saw stand.
Never operate your miter saw on the floor or in
a crouched position. Failure to heed this
warning can result in serious personal injury.
The sliding miter saw should be mounted to a
firm supporting surface such as a workbench,
mounting board, or miter saw stand. The
saw base has four mounting holes. If using
bolts or screws
(not supplied)
, they should
be of sufficient length to accommodate the
saw base, lock washers, hex nuts, and the
thickness of the workbench or other mounting
surface. Tighten all bolts or screws securely.
The hole pattern for mounting to a workbench
is shown in Fig.13a.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.
Temporary mounting, using clamps
•
If necessary, clamp the miter saw to a
workbench or table top.

Place two (2) or more “C” clamps on the
clamping areas and secure (Fig. 13b).
NOTICE:
Always make sure you leave enough room in work area to accommodate long workpieces.
