and the saw base, and place it on a level work surface.
NOTE: This saw is heavy. To avoid back injury, lift with
your legs, not your back, and get help when needed.

in the down position. To release the saw arm, push
down on the top of the saw arm, cut the tie-wrap, and
pull out on the lock pin.

remain on the saw arm to prevent sudden rise upon
release of the tie wrap.

damage occurred during shipping.
n Do not discard the packing material until you have
carefully inspected and satisfactorily operated the tool.

assembling it, check for accuracy. If shipping has
influenced the settings, refer to specific procedures
explained in this manual.
n If any parts are damaged or missing, please call
1-800-932-3188 for assistance.

ASSEMBLY
WARNING: Do not attempt to modify this tool
or create accessories not recommended for use
with this tool. Any such alteration or modification is
misuse and could result in a hazardous condition
leading to possible serious personal injury.

MOUNTING HOLES
See Figure 8.
WARNING: Always make sure the compound miter
saw is securely mounted to a workbench or an ap-
proved workstand. Failure to heed this warning can
result in serious personal injury.
The compound miter saw should be permanently mount-
ed 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 8. 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.
