WORKSTAND SET-UP
See Figures 4 and 5.
Before You Start
n If a miter saw is already assembled to the stand, make
sure that it is securely attached to the stand per the
instructions in this manual.
n
If a compound miter saw is already assembled to the
stand, make sure to place the blade 90° to the table (if
applicable). Miter the blade to the right as far as it will
go, place the blade in the “locked down” position, and
lock all knobs and levers.
n If a slide compound miter saw is already assembled to
the stand, follow the above steps plus slide the head/
blade assembly to the front of the saw and lock the slide
rails.
SETTING UP
n From the upright position, hold the leg cross bar and pull
the spring pin knob.
n
Lift legs up until the spring pin locks in place.
n Lower unit until the legs rest on the floor.
n Stand at wheel end of unit, grasp the lift handle/lock
lever. Squeeze lock lever and raise the table to a position
just above horizontal.
CAUTION:
Do not lift by any part of the miter saw that is
attached to the workstand. Failure to do so may
result in possible injury and damage the tool.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury when lifting, bend
your knees so you can lift with your legs, not your
back.
n The sliding legs will follow tracks on the underside of the
table to their engaged position near the handle end of
the table.
n
Return table to horizontal position. The table should
now rest firmly on top of the sliding legs. If not, repeat
“pull up and set down” motion.
n Release lift handle/lock lever.
NOTE: You may need to adjust the speed at which you raise
the table in order to get the sliding leg to catch in the notch.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, make sure sliding leg
is secured in the notch by the lock lever. Failure to
latch may cause stand to fall in use.
