Mounting Holes

This tool comes mounted to a leg stand. If you chose to remove the leg stand, the table saw must be mounted to a firm supporting surface such as a workbench. Four bolt holes have been provided in the saw’s base for this pur- pose. Each of the four mounting holes should be bolted securely using 5/16 in. machine bolts, lock washers, and hex nuts (not included). Bolts should be of sufficient length to accommodate the saw base, lock washers, hex nuts, and the thickness of the workbench. Tighten all four bolts securely.

Carefully check the workbench after mounting to make sure that no movement can occur during use. If any tipping, sliding, or walking is noted, secure the workbench to the floor before operating.
