ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
Always make sure the compound miter saw is securely mounted to a workbench or an approved workstand. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
Mounting the miter saw base to the stand
See Figure 8.
If a stand was included with your miter saw, follow the in- structions below to mount the saw base to the stand. If a stand was not included and your saw came preassembled, or if you prefer to mount to a workbench, proceed to the next section, Mounting Holes, to mount the miter saw to a workbench.
Place the miter saw base on the stand so that the base is seated firmly on the stand and the holes in the bottom of the base are aligned with the threaded shaft of the knobs in the stand.
Tighten the knobs securely, but do not overtighten.

Mounting Holes
See Figure 9.
If not using a stand, the saw should be mounted to a firm supporting surface such as a workbench. Four bolt holes have been provided in the saw 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.
The hole pattern for mounting to a workbench is shown in figure 9. Carefully check the workbench after mounting to make sure that no movement can occur during use. If any tipping, sliding, or walking is noted, secure the workbench to the floor before operating.
