SAFETY GUIDELINES
THIS SECTION CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CONCERNING A HAZARD THAT MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH, and/or damage to stand or equipment if used improperly.
Please read the following instructions very carefully.
Always follow the safety recommendations and guidelines
provided by the manufacturer of your tools. When in doubt
refer to your owner’s manual.
Always set stand on level ground or oor surface, making sure
all legs are in contact with the ground or oor. Extend legs
until locked. Failure to do so could result in saw movement
or the collapse of the table causing injury to the operator or
to the equipment.
Always keep hands clear of hinge and pivot points. Failure to
do so could result in serious injury or loss of ngers.
Be sure saw is bolted down securely. Failure to do so could
result in serous injury to self, saw and/or stand.
Adjust rollers or other material support surface to level with
bed of miter saw. Failure to do so could result in kickbacks,
causing serous injury to self, saw and/or stand.
When cutting small pieces use a hold down stick or clamp
work piece securely. Failure to do so could result in kick-
backs, serous injury to self, saw and/or stand.

When using any stop system, always hold work piece
securely on stop side, tight to table with hand a safe
distance from blade. Failure to do so could result in kickbacks,
causing serious injury to self, saw and/or stand.
On all cutting operations make sure the blade has come to
a complete stop before attempting to remove work piece.
Failure to do so could result in kickbacks, causing serious
injury to self, saw and/or stand.
SET UP AND ADJUSTMENTS
1. Lay miter saw stand upside down on level surface.
2. Place one wheel on axle with air stem pointing out. Install metal cap on the
same end of axle using the axle cap installation tool. Place one 5/8” spacer onto
the opposite end axle and slide until tight against wheel. Insert axle through the
holes in the bottom of each leg. Place remaining 5/8” spacer on axle followed
by the wheel with air stem pointing away from stand. Install metal cap using
installation tool.
3. Set stand on level ground with all legs touching equally.
4. Set miter saw on stand, center left to right, and toward the back to maximize
use of stock support rollers. Make sure the miter saw mounting holes will miss
tubing under top. IF NECESSARY SHIFT MITER SAW UNTIL MOUNTING
HOLES MISS TUBING. If you are using a support wing and stop system be
sure there will be no interference with the optional accessories before drilling
mounting holes. After adjusting saw to clear tubing, mark each hole on top,
drill and fasten saw to stand according to your saw owners manual. Mounting
hardware included with stand.
5. Loosen adjustment knobs on 1” tubing beneath top. Pull extension arm out
until 3” remain inside and tighten. Insert base of roller through extension arm
coupler and into “T” base. Raise roller until level with the miter saw bed and
tighten coupler with “T” base knobs. Repeat on opposite side.
