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.

sure that no movement can occur during use. If any tip­
ping, sliding, or walking is noted, secure the workbench to
the floor before operating.
