ENGLISH
The plywood must sit flush on the work support. When clamping the
saw to any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses where
the mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at any other point will
interfere with the proper operation of thesaw.
3. To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the mounting surface is
not warped or otherwise uneven. If the saw rocks on the surface, place
a thin piece of material under one saw foot until the saw is firm on the
mountingsurface.
Assembling the Base Extensions (Fig. V)

WARNING: Base extensions must be assembled to both sides of
the saw's base before using thesaw.

WARNING: Be sure to adjust the base extensions using the
mounting slots so they are level with the saw'sbase.
1. Locate the holes above the hand indentations on the side of thebase.
2. Using a hex wrench, attach the screw
46
through the nut
47
, through
the base extension
30
, and into the holes on thebase.
3. Ensure the extension is secure by pulling on the extension to verify
nomovement.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 on the otherside.
NOTE: Make sure the extensions are level with the work surface so that the
workpiece rests evenly. A straight workpiece should have no gap between it
and the baseextensions.
