ATTACHING THE TOOL (FIG. 13–16)

WARNING: STABILITY HAZARD. Refer to your tool manufacturer’s

instructions regarding the securing of your miter saw or planer to a stand or supporting surface. Secure the tool according to both the instructions in this manual and those in your tool manufacturer’s manual before operating. Failure to heed these warnings may result in serious personal injury and serious damage to the tool.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn miter saw or planer off, disconnect the tool from the power source before assembling the miter saw or planer to the stand. An accidental

start-up can cause injury.

1. Loosen the 6 rail screws (AA) with the supplied hex wrench.

Remove the mounting bolts/flat washers (BB) from the mounting rails.

2. Slide the mounting rails (A) to fit the width of the tool. Ensure the mounting slots align the with holes in the tool’s feet.

WARNING: Planers MUST be mounted in the orientation shown in

Figure 16.

3. Place miter saw or planer on the mounting rails (A). Center the tool, both forward and backward and side to side, on the stand.

4. Ensure the mounting holes (CC) in the tool’s feet align with the rail slots (DD) and the captured nuts (EE) located in the mounting rails.

5. Once the two rails are in place, tighten the rail screws (AA) loosened in STEP 1.

6. Insert the mounting bolts/flat washers (BB) (removed in STEP1) through each of the tool’s feet into the captured nut (EE). Tighten securely.

IMPORTANT: The miter saw or planer MUST be positioned so the tool is bolted squarely to the mounting rails. If this is not possible, please call 1-800-4-D

EWALT (1-800-433-9258) for technical assistance.

WARNING: STABILITY HAZARD. If the tool’s mounting holes do

not line up with the slots in the mounting rails, mount the miter saw or planer to a piece of 3/4 inch (19 mm) plywood (See Figure15 for dimensions). The plywood must be a minimum of 4 inch (101.6mm) wider than the tool base being mounted and a minimum depth of 16inch (406.4 mm). Plywood must be at least as deep as the tool base being mounted. Drill 3/8inch (9.4 mm) holes near both ends of the plywood to align with the slots in the mounting rails as described in Attaching the Tool. Other hardware (not supplied) may be necessary under these circumstances.

WARNING: STABILITY HAZARD. All purchased hardware must

be a minimum of Grade2. Hardware should be 1-1/4 inch (31.8mm) longer than the thickness of the tool base you are assembling.

NOTICE: To prevent binding and/or inaccuracy, ensure the plywood is not warped or uneven. If binding and/or inaccuracy occurs, replace the plywood with a non-warped, even piece of plywood.

PRODUCT STABILITY TEST (FIG. 16–17)

The rolling miter saw/planer stand is designed to be used in conjunction with a wide variety of miter saws, compound miter saws, sliding compound miter saws and planers.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing setups or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause

injury.

WARNING: For your own safety, use two or more people to perform the stability test or serious injury could result.

WARNING: The cuttinghead MUST be raised on all miter saws, compound miter saws and sliding compound miter saws. All sliding compound miter saws MUST be locked in the rear position. Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: STABILITY HAZARD. Stay alert. The stand may tip during this procedure. Serious injury may result.

1. Ensure the tool is

FIG 17

securely mounted to the stand and is turned off and disconnected from power source.

2. Place a 2-1/2 inch

(63.5 mm) thick block of wood (FF) under

the front leg (GG) of the stand so that the front leg is raised 2-1/2 inches (63.5 mm) off

the floor.

3. With one person in front of the stand, and the other person

behind, lift the front of the stand slightly, remove the block of wood, and allow the stand to drop to the floor.

4. Perform this same test with the block of wood under the rear

leg(HH).

5. If the stand tends to tip to the front, reposition the tool toward the

rear of the stand. If the stand tends to tip to the rear, reposition the tool forward. Make your adjustment, then repeat the test.

OPERATION

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, keep both hands on handle and the right foot on the extension leg when raising and lowering the stand. The stand has gas assist lifting and may raise unexpectedly when lever is released.
