ASSEMBLY

WARNING:

The saw mounting brackets are designed to fit snugly over the table edges with locking levers in the open position. With the locking levers in the lowered (locked) position, you should not be able to slide the saw mounting bracket assembly along the table edges or remove the bracket assembly from the table edges. If the saw mounting brackets will not fit over the edges, or if the brackets can be removed from the edges when the levers are locked, remove bracket assembly immediately and adjust bracket adjustment screw. See the Maintenance section of this manual. Failure to heed this warning may result in serious personal injury.

ATTACHING SAW TO THE MOUNTING BRACKETS

See Figures 11 - 12.

Always position the saw to achieve maximum balance and stability. All four corners of the saw must be bolted to the mounting brackets before use. Make sure bolts do not extend above the table of the miter saw.

NOTE: Four additional 1-1/2 in. bolts have been provided for use when securing a sliding miter saw to the mounting brackets.

NOTE: Ensure that mounting brackets can be clamped securely onto stand before mounting saw. If locking lever on saw mounting bracket cannot easily be pushed down into the closed position, the adjustment screw is too tight. Do not force locking lever into the closed position. Loosen the adjustment screw. Refer to the Maintenance section later in this manual for mounting bracket adjustment.

If the saw has mounting holes that line up with the slots in the saw mounting brackets:

Disconnect the saw from power supply and lock the saw arm in the down position.

Place a 2 x 4 or similar type of stable support underneath the saw to raise the saw and allow access to the saw’s mounting feet.

Feed a carriage bolt up through each side of the bracket and adjustment plate.

Align bolts in the two sliding adjustment plates on the saw mounting bracket with the saw mounting holes.

Place the saw mounting bracket underneath the raised side of the saw, and insert bolts through mounting holes in saw.

Loosely secure in place using a flat washer, lock washer, and hex nut.

Repeat procedure to attach second bracket to saw.

After making sure both brackets are parallel to each other, lightly tighten all four nuts to hold in position.
