Bench
Mounting
Holes are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting, as shown in Figure 2. (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 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 surely
interfere with the proper operation of the saw.
ACAUTION:
To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the mounting surface is not
warped or otherwise uneven, ff 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.
