ATTACHING THE TOOL (FIG. 13–16)

WARNING: STABILITY HAZARD. Refer to your tool manufacturer’s

instructions regarding the securing of your miter saw or planer to a stand or supporting surface. Secure the tool according to both the instructions in this manual and those in your tool manufacturer’s manual before operating. Failure to heed these warnings may result in serious personal injury and serious damage to the tool.7 English

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn miter saw or

planer off, disconnect the tool from the power source before assembling the miter saw or planer to the stand. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

1. Close stand before attaching the tool.

2. Loosen the 6 rail screws (AA) with the supplied hex wrench.

Remove the mounting bolts/flat washers (BB) from the mounting rails.

3. Slide the mounting rails (A) to fit the width of the tool. Ensure the

mounting slots align with the holes in the tool’s feet.

WARNING: Planers MUST be mounted in the orientation shown

4. Place miter saw or planer on the mounting rails (A). Center the tool,

both forward and backward and side to side, on the stand.

5. Ensure the mounting holes (CC) in the tool’s feet align with the rail

slots (DD) and the captured nuts (EE) located in the mounting rails.

6. Once the two rails are in place, tighten the rail screws (AA)

7. Insert the mounting bolts/flat washers (BB) (removed in STEP2)

through each of the tool’s feet into the captured nut (EE). Tighten securely.

WARNING: STABILITY HAZARD. If the tool’s mounting holes do

not line up with the slots in the mounting rails, mount the miter saw or planer to a piece of 3/4 inch (19 mm) plywood (See Figure15 for dimensions). The plywood must be a minimum of 4 inch (101.6mm) wider than the tool base being mounted and a minimum depth of 16inch (406.4mm). Plywood must be at least as deep as the tool base being mounted. Drill 3/8inch (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 Grade2. Hardware should be 1-1/4 inch (31.8mm) 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.
