MOUNTING HOLES
The table saw must be mounted to a firm supporting, waist
high surface such as a workbench or leg stand. Four bolt
holes have been provided in the saw’s base for this purpose.
Each of the four mounting holes should be bolted securely
using 1/4 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.
Carefully check the workbench after mounting to make sure
that no movement can occur during use. If any tipping, slid-
ing, or walking is noted, secure the workbench to the floor
before operating.
