WARNING:
Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories
not recommended for use with this tool. Any such altera-
tion or modification is misuse and could result in a hazard-
ous condition leading to possible serious personal injury.

starting and possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not start the compound miter saw without checking
for interference between the blade and the miter fence.
Damage could result to the blade if it strikes the miter
fence during operation of the saw.
WARNING:
Always make sure the compound miter saw is securely
mounted to a workbench or an approved workstand. Failure
to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
MOUNTING HOLES
See Figure 7.
The compound miter saw should be mounted to a firm
supporting surface such as a workbench. Four bolt holes
have been provided in the saw base for this purpose. Each
of the four mounting holes should be bolted securely using
3/8 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.
The hole pattern for mounting to a workbench is shown in
figure 7. 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.
