ASSEMBLY MOUNTING THE MITER SAW TO THE STAND See Figures 8 - 9. n Lift the saw and bracket assembly, allowing the assembly to tilt slightly toward your body. n While still tilted toward you, hook the front edge of the bracket assembly onto the front rail of the stand. WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, make sure the curved front edge of the mounting brackets are securely seated over the front rail before seating the other end of the brackets. Failure to do so could cause you to lose control of the saw mounting assembly, which could cause serious personal injury. n Lower the bracket assembly to allow the rear edge of the bracket to seat fully over the rear rail. n Lock the brackets in position by lowering the locking levers. NOTE: Continue to hold the mounting bracket assembly with one hand until both levers are securely locked. n Check position and adjust, if necessary, to make sure the weight of the saw is evenly balanced over the rails as shown in figure 9. n Ensure the saw is fully seated and locked in position, then securely tighten the four nuts holding the saw to the saw mounting brackets. To remove saw from stand: n Raise the locking levers to unlock the saw and mounting bracket assembly. n Lift away from the rear rail of the stand to disengage. n With the assembly tilted slightly toward you, lift the front part of the assembly to disengage from the front rail of the stand. 1 2 11 10 16 17 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 23 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 LOWER LOCKING LEVERS TO SECURE TO STAND Fig. 8 Fig. 9 WARNING: The mounting brackets are designed to fit snugly over the stand rails.
