WARNING

Do not plug in saw at any time during assembly.

Plug in saw only when it is to be used.

Assembly Steps

It is important for your safety and to get accurate cuts that you put the saw together according to these instructions. Follow these steps in order.

Assembling steel legs

For easy assembly it is recommended to fin- ger tighten all screws, lockwashers, and hex nuts until the legset is fully assembled. Then go back and tighten all nuts securely.

From among the loose parts, find the follow- ing Hardware:

24Truss Head Screws, 1/4-20 x 5/8

24Lockwashers, 1/4-External

24Hex Nuts, 1/4-20

8Hex Nuts, 3/8 - 16

4Leveling Feet

1.Insert three truss head screws through the three holes near the top of one Leg. Place the Side Stiffener up to the Leg, as shown, so that the three screws line up with the holes in the Side Stiffeners marked with an "X" in the illustration.

2.Place a lockwasher and hex nut on each screw and finger tighten the hex nut.

3.Following the same procedure as above, continue to fasten together the remaining Legs, Side Stiffeners, and Front/Rear Stiffen- ers as illustrated.

4.Install one 3/8-16 hex nut completely onto each of the leveling feet. Insert one leveling foot through hole in bottom of each leg and install a 3/8-16 hex nut.

5.Set stand upright and securely tighten all nuts.

6.To level steel legs, loosen nut on inside of leg and turn nut on outside to raise or lower feet. Adjust all four levelers if necessary, and then tighten nuts on inside of leg.

Note: These levelers are not intended for height adjustment.
