ATTACHING THE LEVELING FEET
If you prefer, an optional stand (item EX-21BS for EX-16
& EX-21 or item EX-30BS for EX-30) is available from your
local General International dealer. The stand is equip-
ped with mounting holes allowing the saw, after re-
moving the leveling feet, to be bolted directly to the
stand.
INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL STAND
B
A
Install the leveling feet as shown. Loosen the upper A
and lower B nuts as needed to adjust the height of the
foot.
FOR YOUR SAFETY IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE MACHINE DOES NOT ROCK OR TIP DURING OPERATION. UPON START-
UP OR DURING OPERATION, IF YOU NOTICE ANY ROCKING, TIPPING OR CHATTERING OF THE BASE TURN THE
MACHINE OFF IMMEDIATELY AND READJUST THE LEVELING FEET AS NEEDED TO STABILIZE THE SCROLL SAW ON THE
BENCH OR WORK SURFACE
MOUNTING TO A WORK SURFACE
If a permanent shop placement is practical, consider
removing the leveling feet on the base and drilling
matching through holes in the mounting surface of your
workbench or stand to bolt the saw in place (hardware
not included) on your workbench.
If a permanent installation is not practical, clamps can
also be used to secure the saw to a bench or work
table.
The unit should be installed on a flat, sturdy and stable
surface able to support the weight of the machine and
the workpiece with ease.
Never install the machine over the edge of a table or
w
orkbench.
