WARNING:

Mounting Holes

The table saw must be mounted to a firm supporting, waist high surface such as a workbench or leg stand. Four bolt holes have been provided in the saw’s base for this purpose. Each of the four mounting holes should be bolted securely using 1/4 in. machine bolts, lock washers, and hex nuts (not included). Bolts should be of sufficient length to accommodate the saw base, lock washers, hex nuts, and the thickness of the workbench. Tighten all four bolts securely.

Carefully check the workbench after mounting to make sure that no movement can occur during use. If any tipping, slid- ing, or walking is noted, secure the workbench to the floor before operating.
