MOUNTING HOLES
This tool comes mounted to a leg stand. If you chose to
remove the leg stand, the table saw must be mounted to a
firm supporting surface such as a workbench. 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
3/8 in. machine bolts, lock washers, and hex nuts (not in-
cluded). 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,
sliding, or walking is noted, secure the workbench to the
floor before operating.
TO INSTALL THE HANDLE ASSEMBLY
See Figure 6.
Hold the nylon nut securely and turn the screw counter-
clockwise to remove the nut completely.
NOTE: Do not remove the screw from the handle or the
washer from the end of the screw.
Place the nylon nut into the recessed hole on the back
of the height/bevel adjusting handwheel and hold in
place.
Slide the handle, screw, and washer into the hole on the
height/bevel adjusting handwheel.
Using a flathead screwdriver, turn the screw clockwise
