Place the saw on a smooth, flat surface such as a work-
bench or strong table.
Examine Figure 2 to become familiar with the saw and its
various parts. The section on adjustments will refer to
these terms and you must know what and where the
parts are.
Press down lightly on the operating handle and pull out the
lock down pin, as shown in Figure 2. Gently release the
downward pressure and hold the arm allowing it to rise to its
full height. Use the lock down pin when carrying the saw
from one place to another. Always use the carrying handle
to transport the saw or the hand indentations shown in
Figure 2.
Bench Mounting
Holes are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mount-
ing, as shown in Figure 2. (Two different sized holes are
provided to accommodate different sizes of screws. Use

your saw firmly to a stable surface to prevent movement.
To enhance the tool's portability, it can be mounted to a
piece of 1/2" or thicker plywood which can then be
clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites
and reclamped.
NOTE: If you elect to mount your saw to a piece of ply-
wood, make sure that the mounting screws don't protrude
from the bottom of the wood. The plywood must sit flush on
the work support. When clamping the saw to any work
surface, clamp only on the clamping bosses where the
mounting screw holes are located. Clamping at any other
point will surely interfere with the proper operation of the
saw.
CAUTION: To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure
the mounting surface is not warped or otherwise uneven.
If the saw rocks on the surface place a thin piece of
material under one saw foot until the saw sits firmly on the
mounting surface.
