PRODUCT STABILITY TEST
The Universal Miter Saw/Planer stand is designed to be used in conjunction with a wide variety of miter saws, compound miter
saws, sliding compound miter saws, and planers.
Any tool used with this stand must be properly positioned and secured to ensure stability and to prevent
inadvertent tipping.
To confirm the stability of your unit:
Use two or more people to perform the stability test.
Raise the cuttinghead for all miter saws, compound miter saws, and sliding compound miter saws. Lock
all sliding compound miter saws in the rear position.
1. Place a 2-1/2" thick block of wood (A) Fig. 15 under the front leg (B) of
the stand so that the front leg is raised 2-1/2" off the floor.
2. With one person in front of the stand, and the other person behind, lift
the front of the stand slightly, remove the block of wood, and allow the
stand to fall forward.
3. Perform this same test with the block of wood under the rear leg
(C) Fig. 15.
4. If the stand tends to tip to the front, reposition the tool toward the rear of the stand. If the stand tends to tip to the rear,
reposition the tool forward. Make your adjustment, then repeat the test.
