FASTENING SAW TO A SUPPORTING SURFACE

The saw MUST be properly secured to a supporting sur- face using the four mounting holes, two of which are shown at (A) Fig. 19.

IMPORTANT: A HOLE MUST BE PROVIDED IN THE SUPPORTING SURFACE TO FACILITATE SAWDUST FALL-THRU AND REMOVAL. Square the saw on the supporting surface and mark the location of the four 5/16 inch holes to be drilled, as shown in Fig. 20. Locate and mark an 11 or 12 inch square centered between the four mounting holes and cut out and remove the square, as shown in Fig. 20. This opening will allow sawdust to fall through the saw base. Fasten the saw to the workbench utilizing the mounting holes that were just drilled.

IMPORTANT: FAILURE TO PROVIDE THIS SAW DUST FALL-THRU AND REMOVAL HOLE WILL ALLOW SAW DUST TO BUILD-UP AROUND THE MOTOR WHICH MAY RESULT IN A FIRE HAZARD OR CAUSE MOTOR DAMAGE.
