MOUNTING HOLES

The table saw must be mounted to a firm supporting sur- face such as a workbench or leg stand. Four bolt holes have been provided in the saw'sbase 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 ac- commodate the saw base, lock washers, hex nuts, and the thickness of the workbench. Tighten all four bolts se- curely.

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