MOUNTING POWER TOOLS

WARNING:

Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.

Before you start

RIDGID TS2400 table saw bolts directly onto this work stand. Most other tools, including miter saws, will need additional supports to aid in attaching a tool to work stand.

The hardware and mounting materials shown in this manual are the minimum size recommended for safe attachment of a power tool to this work stand. Any deviation from this is not recommended.

This stand is primarily recommended for use with portable table saws. Other applications such as miter saws and other tools weighing less than 100 pounds are described below.

We recommend using wooden mounting blocks as explained below to attach any tool other than the RIDGID TS2400 table saw. Any holes drilled in the work stand or screws attached to the table of the work stand may cause damage to the product or interfere with the function of the work stand.

NOTE: In miter saw applications you must build a wood base between the stand and saw. This will prevent interference of longer work pieces with the carry handle.

Make sure that you understand how to set-up and tear-down the work stand safely. Saw and work stand combination must be stable in order to operate safely.

WARNING:

To avoid serious personal injury, always assure saw is fully supported and securely attached to a level work surface. If not, relocate to a more stable location.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of injury from the tool moving or falling off stand, always check that all mounting bolts and nuts are securely tightened before moving stand or using tool.
