lifting Saw
• 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 bottom of the base.
• Alternate lifting method: When picking tool up
from ground, use rear carrying handle and front
carrying handle (above guard).
• Never carry the tool by the slide rails, this
may cause blade damage.
• Never lift tool by holding switch handle. This
may cause serious damage.
• 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 properly support-
ing 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.

Mounting Applications
Workbench
Mount the saw using either the four bolt holes
(5/16") or the four nail holes to the workbench
(Figure 16). Check for clearance to the left and right
of the saw.
1. Each of the four mounting holes should be bolted
securely using 5/16" bolts, lock washers, and hex
nuts (not included).
2. Locate and mark where the saw is to be mounted.
3. Drill four (4) 5/16" diameter holes through work-
bench.
4. Place the miter saw on the workbench aligning
holes in base with holes drilled in workbench. In-
stall bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. As an al-
ternative, you can mount the saw using drywall
screws in the four nail holes.
Supporting surface where saw is to be mounted
should be examined carefully after mounting to
ensure that no movement can occur during use.
If any tipping or walking is noted, secure the work-
bench or stand before operating the slide com-
pound miter saw.
