Installation
To avoid injury always observe the
following:
● Unplug electric cord. Before transporting the
saw, rotate head assembly to 45° right miter,
lock into detent, pull the head assembly com-
pletely forward toward you, tighten the slide rail
lock knob and lock the head assembly in the
lowered position.
● To avoid back injury, hold the tool close to your
body when lifting. Bend your knees so you can
lift with your legs, not your back. Lift by using
the cast-in carry handles at each side of the bot-
tom of the base.
● Never carry the tool by the slide rails, this
may cause blade misalignment.
● Never carry the miter saw by the power cord or
the operational handle. Attempting to lift or
carry the tool by the power cord will damage the
insulation and the wire connections resulting in
electric shock or fire.
● Observe the position of the saw. People
standing behind it could be injured by thrown
debris.
● Place the saw on a firm, level surface where
there is plenty of room for handling and proper-
ly supporting the workpiece.
● Bolt, nail or clamp the saw to its support.
Be careful not to over drive nail
or over torque the bolt. This could
crack foot or damage base.
Workbench
Mount the saw using either the four bolt holes (7/16")
or the four nail holes to the workbench (Figure 15).
Check for clearance to the left and right of the saw.
Figure 15. Workbench Mounting
1. Each of the four mounting holes should be bolt-
ed securely using 7/16" bolts, lock washers, and
hex nuts (not included).
2. Locate and mark where the saw is to be mount-
ed.
3. Drill four (4) 7/16" diameter holes through work-
bench.
4. Place the slide compound miter saw on the
workbench aligning holes in base with holes
drilled in workbench. Install bolts, lock wash-
ers and hex nuts.
Supporting surface where saw is to be mounted
should be examined carefully after mounting to insure
that no movement can occur during use. If any tipping
or walking is noted, secure the workbench or stand
before operating the slide compound miter saw.
