MOUNTING THE MITRE SAW (Fig. 12, 13)
• For stationary use, place the saw in the
desired location, directly on a workbench
where there is room for handling and
proper support of the workpiece. The base
of the saw has eight mounting holes, four
1/4" holes and four 3/8" holes. Select the
proper mounting holes based on the size
of bolts used. Bolt the base of the mitre
saw (1) to the workbench (5), using the
fastening method as shown in Fig 12.
NOTE: Mounting hardware is not included
with this tool. Bolts, nuts, washers, and
screws must be purchased separately.
• For portable use, place the saw on a 3/4"
thick piece of plywood. Bolt the base of the
mitre saw securely to the plywood using the
mounting holes on the base. Use C-clamps
to clamp this mounting board to a stable
work surface at the worksite. (Fig. 13)
NOTE: If a mitre saw stand is used, please
follow all instructions shown in that
product’s instructions for proper mounting.

WARNING!
• To avoid injury from unexpected saw movement:
- Before moving the saw, disconnect the power cord from the outlet,
and lock the cutting arm in the lower position using the head
hold-down latch.
NOTE: The head hold-down latch is for carrying or storing the tool. It
is not to be used for holding the saw while cutting. Lower blade and
press in head hold-down latch to secure saw for transport or storage.
- Never carry the mitre saw by the power cord or by the trigger switch
handle. Carrying the tool by the power cord could cause damage to
the insulation or wire connections resulting in electric shock or fire.
- To avoid injury from flying debris, do not allow visitors to stand
behind the saw.
- Place the saw on a firm, level workbench where there is room for
handling and properly supporting the workpiece.
- Support the saw on a level work surface.
- Bolt or clamp the saw to its support.
