Bosch 5312 - Portable Mounting and Handle Adjustment

Portable Mounting Using Clamps
• If necessary, clamp the miter saw to a workbench
or table top.
• Place two (2) or more "C" clamps on the clamping
areas and secure (Figure 15).
• Be careful not to place clamps over the base
extension clamping levers (Figure 15).
• Mounting with clamps will prevent access to some
wide miter angles.
