MOUNTING SAW ONTO WORK SURFACE (FIG. C)
1. If the leg set will not be used, the saw must be
properly secured to a sturdy workbench using the
four mounting holes at the base of the saw.
2. The surface of the table where the saw is to be
mounted must have a hole large enough to facilitate
sawdust fall-through and removal.
3. Square the saw on the mounting surface and mark
the location of the four 3/8 in. mounting holes (1).
4. Drill 3/8 in. hole into the mounting surface.
5. Mark an 11 in. square (2) centered between the four
mounting holes (1).
6. Cut out and remove the square.
7. This opening will allow sawdust to fall through the
saw base.
8. Place the saw on the work surface and align the
mounting holes of the saw with those drilled through
the surface.
9. Fasten the saw to the work surface.
A WARNING
Do not operate this machine on the floor. This is
very dangerous and may cause serious injury.

WARNING
Failure to provide the sawdust fall-through hole for
use of the saw when mounted to a work surface and
not the stand will cause sawdust to build up in the
motor area, which may result in fire or cause motor
damage.
KEEPING THE AREA CLEAN
1. Sawdust and wood chips that fall from under the
saw will accumulate on the floor.
2. Make it a practice to pick up and discard this dust
when you have completed cutting.
BLADE RAISING HANDWHEEL (FIG. D, E)
1. Attach the up-down handwheel (1) to the elevation
rod (2) at the front of the saw. Make sure the slots (3)
in the hub of the handwheel (1) engage with the
pins (4).
2. Attach and tighten the dome nut (5 - Fig. E).
BLADE TILTING HANDWHEEL (FIG. E)
