Bench Mounting (Fig. A)
Holes
3
are provided in all 4 feet to facilitate bench mounting, as shown in FigureA. (Two
different-sized holes are provided to accommodate different sizes of screws. Use either hole,
it is not necessary to use both.) Always mount your saw firmly to a stable surface to prevent
movement. To enhance the tool’s portability, it can be mounted to a piece of 1/2" (12.7 mm) or
thicker plywood which can then be clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites
andreclamped.
nOTE: If you elect to mount your saw to a piece of plywood, make sure that the mounting
screws don’t protrude from the bottom of the wood. The plywood must sit flush on the work
support. When clamping the saw to any work surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses where
the mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at any other point will interfere with the proper
operation of thesaw.
CAUTION: To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the mounting surface is not warped
or otherwise uneven. If the saw rocks on the surface, place a thin piece of material under one
saw foot until the saw sits firmly on the mountingsurface.
