ASSEMBLY

WORKSTAND SET-UP

See Figures 4 and 5.

Before You Start

nIf a miter saw is already assembled to the stand, make sure that it is securely attached to the stand per the instructions in this manual.

nIf a compound miter saw is already assembled to the stand, make sure to place the blade 90° to the table (if applicable). Miter the blade to the right as far as it will go, place the blade in the “locked down” position, and lock all knobs and levers.

nIf a slide compound miter saw is already assembled to the stand, follow the above steps plus slide the head/ blade assembly to the front of the saw and lock the slide rails.

UPRIGHT POSITION

WARNING:

To avoid serious personal injury when lifting, bend your knees so you can lift with your legs, not your back.

nThe sliding legs will follow tracks on the underside of the table to their engaged position near the handle end of the table.

nReturn table to horizontal position. The table should now rest firmly on top of the sliding legs. If not, repeat “pull up and set down” motion.

nRelease lift handle/lock lever.

NOTE: You may need to adjust the speed at which you raise the table in order to get the sliding leg to catch in the notch.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of injury, make sure sliding leg is secured in the notch by the lock lever. Failure to latch may cause stand to fall in use.
