If Your Saw Does Not Readily Fit the
Mounting Rails
IMPORTanT: The mitre saw MUST be positioned so the tool is
bolted squarely to the mounting rails.

WARNING: STABILITY HAZARD. If the tool's mounting
holes do not line up with the slots in the mounting rails,
mount the mitre saw to a piece of 19 mm plywood (See
Figure L for dimensions). The plywood must be a minimum
of 102 mm wider than the tool base being mounted and a
minimum depth of 435 mm. Plywood must be at least as
deep as the tool base being mounted. Drill 9.5 mm holes
near both ends of the plywood to align with the slots in
the mounting rails as described in attaching the Tool.
Other hardware (not supplied) may be necessary under
these circumstances.

WARNING: STABILITY HAZARD. All purchased hardware
must be a minimum of Grade 2. Hardware should be
31.8 mm longer than the thickness of the tool base you
are assembling.
NOTICE: To prevent binding and/or inaccuracy, ensure
the plywood is not warped or uneven. If binding and/
or inaccuracy occurs, replace the plywood with a non-
warped, even piece of plywood.
Product Stability Test (Fig. I, R, S)
IMPORTanT: This test must be performed prior to using stand
and saw together.
The rolling mitre saw stand is designed to be used in
conjunction with a wide variety of mitre saws, compound mitre
saws and sliding compound mitre saws.

WARNING: For your own safety, use two or more
people to perform the stability test or serious injury
could result.

WARNING: The cutting head MUST be raised on
all mitre saws, compound mitre saws and sliding
compound mitre saws. All sliding compound mitre
saws MUST be locked in the rear position. Failure to
do so may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: STABILITY HAZARD. Stay alert. The
stand may tip during this procedure. Serious injury
may result.
1. With one person in front of saw/stand and one person in
back of saw/stand, both ready to catch saw, the person
in front lifts the front legs approximately 65 mm and
then lets it go, dropping it. Does stand tend to tip over
toward front? If so, re-adjust saw further back on stand and
retighten fasteners.
2. The person in back lifts rear legs approximately 65 mm and
drops it. Does stand tend to tip over toward back?
If so, readjust saw toward front of stand and
retighten fasteners .
