down on the top of the saw arm, and pull out the

or damage occurred during shipping.
Do not discard the packing material until you have

The saw is factory set for accurate cutting. After
assembling it, check for accuracy as directed in the

explained in this manual.

MOUNTING HOLES
Fig. 5
The compound miter saw should be mounted to a firm
supporting surface, such as a workbench. Four large bolt
holes have been provided in the saw base for this purpose.
Each of the four large mounting holes should be bolted
securely using 5/16 in. (M8) 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. The other small
mounting holes are for use with nails or screws. The nails
or screws should have sufficient length to secure the
saw.
The hole pattern for mounting to a workbench is
shown in Fig. 5. 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.
NOTE: Many of the illustrations in this manual show
portions of the compound miter saw. This is
intentional so that we can clearly show points being
made in the illustrations. Never operate the saw
without all guards securely in place and in good
operating condition.
