DW7231 Universal Miter Saw Mounting Method (Fig. 1,
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off, disconnect machine from power source before assembling the miter saw to the miter saw stand. An accidental
WARNING: Stability Hazard. You must use the plywood mounting method described in the following instructions when mounting a miter saw not manufactured by DEWALT to this miter saw stand. 
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, be sure the miter saw is fully anchored on the stand.
WARNING: For your own safety, read and understand the miter saw instruction manual before using. Failure to heed these warnings may result in personal injury and serious damage to the miter saw and the accessory.
NOTE: If you do not have a DEWALT miter saw, you must use 3/4" (19 mm) plywood to mount your miter saw.
The plywood must be a minimum of 4" (101.6 mm) wider than the largest width of the miter saw base. The plywood should be at least as deep as the smallest depth of the miter saw base or a minimum of 16" (406.4 mm) if miter saw base is smaller. Ensure the plywood is square.
1.Once the Plywood size has been determined, drill 3/8" (9.5 mm) holes 1" (25.5 mm) from the front corners of plywood, 15" (355 mm) apart and 1" (25.5 mm) from the sides.
2.Place DW7231 mounting brackets on the stand:
a.Grasp and squeeze release levers (G).
b.Engage the concave front lip of the mounting bracket with rounded front edge of beam. One of the mounting brackets must be engaged in the locator clip (I) to prohibit lateral movement of the saw during use.
