2.Remove the packing materials from around the saw.
3.Using the operating handle (3) carefully lift the saw from the carton and place it on a level work surface.

bench mounting (fig. B). |

1.Place the saw on a level, horizontal bench or work table using bolts (not supplied) and fix the saw to the bench using 4 bolts.
2.If desired, you can mount the saw to a piece of 13mm or thicker plywood which can then be clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites and
