WARNING:
Always make sure the compound miter saw is securely 
mounted to a workbench or an approved workstand. 
Failure to heed this warning can result in serious
personal injury.
The compound miter saw should be mounted to a firm 
supporting surface such as a workbench. Four bolt holes 
have been provided in the saw base for this purpose. Each 
of the four mounting holes should be bolted securely using 
3/8 in. machine bolts, lock washers, and hex nuts (not 
included). Bolts should be of sufficient length to accommodate 
the saw base, lock washers, hex nuts, and the thickness of 
the workbench. Tighten all four bolts securely.
The hole pattern for mounting to a workbench is shown in 
figure 7. Carefully check the workbench after mounting to 
make sure that no movement can occur during use. If any 
tipping, sliding, or walking is noted, secure the workbench 
to the floor before operating.
