ASSEMBLY
ATTACHING SAW TO THE MOUNTING
BRACKETS
See Figures 11 - 12, page 16.
Always position the saw to achieve maximum balance and
stability. All four corners of the saw must be bolted to the
mounting brackets before use. Make sure bolts do not
extend above the table of the miter saw.
NOTE: Four additional 1-1/2 in. bolts have been provided
for use when securing a sliding miter saw to the mounting
brackets.
NOTE: Ensure that mounting brackets can be clamped
securely onto stand before mounting saw. If locking lever on
saw mounting bracket cannot easily be pushed down into
the closed position, the adjustment screw is too tight. Do
not force locking lever into the closed position. Loosen the
adjustment screw. Refer to the Maintenance section later in
this manual for mounting bracket adjustment.
If the saw has mounting holes that line up with the slots
in the saw mounting brackets:
Disconnect the saw from power supply and lock the saw
arm in the down position.
Place a 2 x 4 or similar type of stable support underneath
the saw to raise the saw and allow access to the saw’s
mounting feet.
Feed a carriage bolt up through each side of the bracket
and adjustment plate.
Align bolts in the two sliding adjustment plates on the
saw mounting bracket with the saw mounting holes.
Place the saw mounting bracket underneath the raised
side of the saw, and insert bolts through mounting holes
in saw.
Loosely secure in place using a flat washer, lock washer,
and hex nut.
Repeat procedure to attach second bracket to saw.
After making sure both brackets are parallel to each other,
lightly tighten all four nuts to hold in position.
If the saw has holes that do not line up with the sliding
adjustment plates in the saw mounting brackets:
Disconnect the saw from power supply and lock saw arm
in the down position.
Mount the saw to a mounting surface at least 1/2 in.
thick using 5/16 hex head bolts, washers, and nuts (not
included).
Drill holes in the mounting surface to match the sliding
adjustment plates in the saw mounting brackets.
Proceed with installation as previously described.
MOUNTING THE MITER SAW TO THE
WORKSTAND
See Figures 13 - 14, pages 16 and 17.
Use the handles located at the rear of the saw mounting
brackets to aid in installing or removing saw and bracket
assembly.
Lift the saw and bracket assembly, allowing the assembly
to tilt slightly toward your body.
While still tilted toward you, hook the front clamp of the
saw and bracket assembly onto the front edge of the
table.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, make sure the
curved front edge of the mounting brackets are
securely seated over the front edge of table before
seating the other end of the brackets. Failure to
do so could cause you to lose control of the saw
and bracket assembly, which could cause serious
personal injury.
Lower the saw and bracket assembly to allow the rear
clamp of the bracket to seat fully over the rear table
edge.
Lock the brackets in position by lowering the locking
levers.
NOTE: Continue to hold the saw and bracket assembly
with one hand until both levers are securely locked.
Check position and adjust, if necessary, to make sure the
weight of the saw is evenly balanced over the edges.
Ensure the saw is fully seated and locked in position, then
securely tighten the four nuts holding the saw to the saw
mounting brackets.
WARNING:
The saw mounting brackets are designed to fit
snugly over the table edges with locking levers in
the open position. With the locking levers in the
lowered (locked) position, you should not be able
to slide the saw mounting bracket assembly along
the table edges or remove the bracket assembly
from the table edges. If the saw mounting brackets
will not fit over the edges, or if the brackets can
be removed from the edges when the levers are
locked, remove bracket assembly immediately
and adjust bracket adjustment screw. See the
Maintenance section of this manual. Failure to heed
this warning may result in serious personal injury.
To remove saw from workstand:
Push locking lever release buttons and raise the locking
levers to unlock the saw mounting brackets assembly.
Grasp the handles on either side of the assembly and lift
away from the rear edge of the table to disengage.
With the assembly tilted slightly toward you, lift the front
part of the assembly to disengage from the front edge of
the table.
