Mounting The Miter Saw
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from unexpected saw
movement:
a. Before moving the saw, unplug
electric cord. Lock the miter
and bevel knobs and lock the
power head in the lower posi-
tion.
b. To reduce the risk of back
injury, hold the tool close to
your body when lifting. Bend
your knees so you can lift with
your legs, not your back. Lift
by using the hand-hold areas
at each side of the bottom of
the base, by the carrying han-
dle, or the handles on the front
of base.
c. Never carry the miter saw by
the power cord or the trigger
grip of the plastic handle. Car-
rying the tool by the power
cord could cause damage to
the insulation or the wire con-
nections resulting in electric
shock or fire.
d. Place the saw so other people
cannot stand behind it. Thrown
debris could injure people in
its path.
e. Place the saw on a firm, level
surface where there is plenty
of room for handling and prop-
erly supporting the workpiece.
f. Support the saw so the table is
level and the saw does not
rock.
g. Bolt or clamp the saw to its
support.
Place the saw in the desired location
either on a work bench or other recom-
mended leg set. The base of the saw has
eight holes to mount the miter saw. Four
smaller holes for screws are labeled A.
Four holes for bolts are labeled B (see
illustration). If the saw is to be used in one
location, permanently fasten it to the work
bench or leg set.
NOTE: When mounted on a large flat sur-
face, the miter saw table is 4-1/2” high.
Three stacked 2 x 4’s can be used as a
work support extension.
Portable Applications
To mount the saw to a 3/4” piece of ply-
wood, use 4, 1/4" bolt holes or
the 4 screw
holes. The mounting board can then be
clamped down to prevent it from tipping.
Plywood mount also helps protect saw from
damage during the rough handling associ-
ated with portable miter saw usage.
Work Bench Applications
Mount as specified in portable applica-
tions. Check for workpiece clearances to
left and right of saw.
