SAW MOUNTED TO OTHER WORK SURFACES (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" mounting holes (1).
4. Drill 3/8” holes into the mounting surface.
5. Mark a 12" to 14" 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.

BLADE RAISING HANDWHEEL (FIG. E, F)
1, Attach the handwheel (1) to the elevation screw (2) at
the front of the saw.
Make sure the slots (3) in the hub of the handwheel
engage with the pins
(4). (FIG. E)
2. Attach and tighten the dome nut (5) at the end of the
shaft
(Fig. F).
A WARNING
Failure to provide the sawdust fall-through hole will cause
sawdust to build up in the motor area, which may result
in fire or cause motor damage.
KEEPING THE AREA CLEAN (FIG. D)
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.
A WARNING
Always keep your work area clean, uncluttered and well
lit. Do not work on floor surfaces that are slippery from
sawdust or wax.
BLADE TILTING HANDWHEEL (FIG. F)
1. Attach the other handwheel (6) to the blade tilting
screw on the side of the saw in the same manner
as above.
2. Attach and tighten the handwheel dome nut (5).
