FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE

•
PRODUCT STAND. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT. Cluttered or poorly-lit work areas, surfaces and

benches can lead to accidents. Do not leave anything on stand when machine is in use. Allow enough room and
provide proper support for work piece and operation of the machine.

KEEP CHILDREN AND BYSTANDERS AWAY from work area.

•
WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which

•
may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip protective footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to

contain long hair.
EYE PROTECTION. All persons in work area should wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday eyeglasses

•

Z94.3 standards.
HEARING PROTECTION. All people in work area should wear proper hearing protection consistent with noise

•
levels and exposure. Hearing equipment should comply with ANSI S3.19 standards.

DUST PROTECTION. Use of power tools can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause serious and

•
permanent respiratory damage. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate machines in well-

ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system whenever possible. Exposure
to dust may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease),
cancer, and death. Avoid breathing dust and avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your
mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful material. Use properly fitting NIOSH/
OSHA/MSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure and wash exposed areas with
soap and water.

THIS PRODUCT WAS DESIGNED TO BE USED PRIMARILY AS A STAND FOR MITER SAWS. IT MAY BE USED

•
WITH PORTABLE PLANERS. DO NOT alter the stand, use it with other products, or for other purposes. The stand

will support 400 lbs., including both machine and work piece. Any misuse or abuse can result in product damage
or personal injury.

USE CARE WHEN ASSEMBLING, MOVING, RAISING OR LOWERING THE STAND to avoid the risk of pinching

•
hands and fingers.

PLACE THE STAND ON A FLAT AND LEVEL SURFACE to prevent rocking or tipping. Do not use the stand on an

•
uneven, unstable or slippery surface. Always check the stability of the stand before connecting machine to power

source.
DO NOT STAND ON THIS PRODUCT or use the support extensions as a ladder or scaffolding. It is unsafe to

•
climb, sit or stand on this product.

CHECK PRODUCT FOR DAMAGE. Before using stand, and after it has been dropped or damaged, check moving

•
and affected components of stand and any attached machines FOR ALIGNMENT, BINDING, BREAKAGE AND

ANY OTHER CONDITION THAT MAY AFFECT THE MACHINE’S PERFORMANCE AND THE STAND’S ABILITY
TO PROPERLY SUPPORT AND SECURE THE MACHINE. DO NOT USE A DAMAGED PRODUCT. A DAMAGED
PRODUCT SHOULD BE PROPERLY REPAIRED USING ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.

CHECK ALL SUPPORTS TO CONFIRM THAT THEY ARE PROPERLY LOCKED IN PLACE BEFORE CONNECTING

•
MACHINE TO POWER SOURCE.

DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE ATTACHING IT TO STAND, AND WHEN MACHINE IS

•
NOT IN USE.

PROPERLY MOUNT MACHINE AND ADJUST WORK PIECE SUPPORTS SO THE WORK PIECE(S) WILL BE

•
LEVEL WITH MACHINE TABLE.

PROPERLY SECURE THE MACHINE TO THE STAND BEFORE CONNECTING IT TO POWER SOURCE.

•
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE STAND FOR OPERATIONS INVOLVING AN AWKWARD OR OVERSIZED WORK PIECE

•
THAT COULD CAUSE THE STAND TO TIP OVER.

PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:

Dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities may contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples are:

– Lead from lead-based paints
– Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
– Asbestos dust
– Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber

• Your risk from these exposures varies depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that
are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water

ASSEMBLY

ATTACHING THE MITER SAW TO THE STAND

NOTE: This stand comes with four M8 x 55mm bolts
with M8 washers and hex nuts. If your saw requires a
different number or size of mounting bolt, use hardware
that will properly secure your saw. Make sure bolt ends
do not extend above the saw table.

NOTE: The DELTA 36-267 miter saw stand is designed
to work with virtually all miter saws. In the event that
the mounting holes on the saw do not line up with the
slots in the mounting brackets, skip to the next section,
“Using a Mounting Platform”

source and the blade and arm are locked in the
down position.

2. With both mounting brackets attached to the rails,
lock one of the mounting brackets in position by
turning the lock knob (A) clockwise.

3. Place the saw on top of the mounting brackets so
that the mounting holes in the saw (B) align with the

slots in the stationary bracket.

NOTE: The exact location of the mounting holes may
vary from saw to saw. Figure 6 is given as an example.

4. Feed an M8 x 55mm hex bolt (C) fitted with an M8
washer (D) up through the slots in the bracket and
through the mounting holes in the saw. Secure
with an M8 hex nut (E).

5. Adjust the other bracket under the saw so that
the brackets slots align with the saw’s mounting
holes. Lock bracket in place by turning lock knob

USING A MOUNTING PLATFORM

Should the existing mounting holes in your saw not fit
the slots in the mounting brackets, it will be necessary
to mount a wooden platform to the brackets then mount
the saw to the platform.

The platform can be made from any rectangular or
square piece of wood scrap that is at least ½-inch thick
and large enough to extend beyond the saw’s base by at
least an inch.

1. Unlock and remove mounting brackets from the rails.
Place them upside down on the top of board so that
they are centered top to bottom and aligned with the
edge of the board.

2. Use a pencil to mark the midpoint in the top and
bottom slots on each bracket.

3. Remove the brackets and drill a ¼-inch hole at each
mark.

4. Place the saw on the platform so that it is centered
on the board. Mark the mounting holes with a pencil.

5. Remove the saw and use a 5/16 - inch drill bit to drill
the holes in the platform.

6. Mount the saw to the board using bolts, washers and
nuts (not provided).

7. Follow Steps 4-6 in above section (Attaching the
Miter Saw to the Stand) to secure the platform to the
brackets.
