PRODUCT STABILITY TEST

The Universal Miter Saw/Planer stand is designed to be used in conjunction with a wide variety of miter saws, compound miter saws, sliding compound miter saws, and planers.

Any tool used with this stand must be properly positioned and secured to ensure stability and to prevent inadvertent tipping.

Mount your planer as shown in Fig. 14 to assure maximum stability.

To confirm the stability of your unit:

To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

Use two or more people to perform the stability test.

Raise the cuttinghead for all miter saws, compound miter saws, and sliding compound miter saws. Lock all sliding compound miter saws in the rear position.

1.Place a 2-1/2" thick block of wood (A) Fig. 15 under the front leg (B) of the stand so that the front leg is raised 2-1/2" off the floor.

2.With one person in front of the stand, and the other person behind, lift the front of the stand slightly, remove the block of wood, and allow the stand to fall forward.

Stay alert. The stand may tip during this procedure.

3.Perform this same test with the block of wood under the rear leg

(C)Fig. 15.

Stay alert. The stand may tip during this procedure.

4.If the stand tends to tip to the front, reposition the tool toward the rear of the stand. If the stand tends to tip to the rear, reposition the tool forward. Make your adjustment, then repeat the test.

NOTE: The stand will adjust to two heights. Try both, select the one that fits you, and lock it in place.

NOTE: The stand has a gas-controlled cylinder that aids in raising the stand. To put the stand in the "down" position, push down on the red activating lever, lift up on the handle, then exert downward pressure on the handle.
