1.Each of the four mounting holes should be bolted securely using 5/16" bolts, lock washers, and hex nuts (not included).
2.Locate and mark where the saw is to be mounted.
3.Drill four (4) 5/16" diameter holes through work- bench.
4.Place the miter saw on the workbench aligning holes in base with holes drilled in workbench. Install bolts, lock washers and hex nuts. As an alternative, you can mount the saw using drywall screws in the four nail holes.
Supporting surface where saw is to be mounted should be examined carefully after mounting to ensure that no movement can occur during use. If any tipping or walking is noted, secure the work- bench or stand before operating the slide com- pound miter saw.
