WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always make sure the table saw is securely mounted to a workbench or an approved leg stand. NEVER operate the saw on the floor. MOUNTING HOLES The table saw must be mounted to a firm supporting surface such as a workbench or leg stand. Four bolt holes have been provided in the saw's base for this purpose. To mount the saw to a work bench, remove the locking knobs covering the bolt holes then insert bolts that are of sufficient length to accommodate the saw base, lock washers, hex nuts, and the thickness of the workbench or other mounting surface. Tighten all bolts or screws securely. 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. To mount the saw to the leg stand, refer to specific procedures explained later in this section. TO ASSEMBLE THE QUICKSTAND® See Figures 6 - 7. NOTE: Do not use this leg stand with other equipment or for other purposes. The arrows on the leg brace identify the top end (short end) of the leg brace.  Match arrows on the top end of the leg brace with the arrows on the top of the stand leg as shown in figure 6.  Place the upper holes on the left side leg brace over the upper holes on the leg assembly. Secure in place with a screw and lock nut.  Place the upper holes on the right side leg brace under the upper holes on the second leg assembly. Secure in place with a screw and lock nut.  Repeat above steps for the second leg assembly and leg brace. NOTE: Only mount the saw when the stand is completely opened. 14 - English
