MOUNTING THE MITER SAW (Fig. O)

To avoid injury from unexpected saw movement: Before moving the saw, disconnect the power cord from the outlet, and lock the cutting arm in the lower position using the stop latch.

NOTE: The stop latch is for carrying or storing the tool. It is NOT to be used holding the saw while cutting.

Never carry the miter saw by the power cord or by the switched handle. Carrying the tool by the power cord could cause damage to the insulation or wire connections resulting in electric shock or fire.

To avoid injury from flying debris, do not allow visitors to stand behind the saw.

Place the saw on a firm, level work-surface where there is room for handling and properly supporting the workpiece.

Support the saw on a level work surface.

Bolt or clamp the saw to its support.

Place the saw in the desired location, either on a work bench or recommended leg set. The base of the saw has three mounting holes (1).

-For stationary use, fasten the saw to a workbench.

-For portable use, fasten the saw to a 3/4” piece of plywood. This mounting board can then be clamped to a secure surface.
