Mounting Table Saw to Workbench or Legset

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from accidental start, make sure switch is "OFF" and plug is not connected to power source outlet.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from kickback or saw movement the saw must be properly secured to a sturdy workbench, cabinet or legset. Casters if provided on the cabi- net or legset must be locked during saw operation. If there is any tendency for the saw to move or rock during operation, this must be corrected immedi- ately.

If table saw is to be used in a permanent location, it should be fastened securely to a firm supporting surface such as a work- bench, or legset using the mounting holes.

Workbench Mounting Using Hardware

When mounting table saw to a workbench and using a vacuum hookup, holes should be drilled through the supporting surface of the workbench using the dimensions illustrated.

If a vacuum is not used, an opening must be made in the workbench using the dimensions illustrated, so the sawdust can fall away from the saw base area.

Table Saw Mounting Procedures

1.Locate the proper hole mounting dia- gram for your desired type of table saw mounting.

2.Mark the hole locations and cutout opening if vacuum is not used. Drill the holes and cut out the area to allow saw- dust to fall away from the base if a vac- uum is not being utilized.

3.Place the table saw on the mounting surface and align the four holes.

4.Insert four (4) 1/4-20 screws that are long enough for washers and nuts which will properly secure the table saw to the mounting surface.

NOTE: Mounting hardware (bolts, nuts, washers etc.) are not supplied with the saw.
