6. The miter saw should be mounted to plywood using holes in the
miter saw base. The hardware size will be determined by the holes
in the miter saw base. Hardware should be 1-1/4" (31.8 mm)
longer than the maximum height of the miter saw base at each
mounting location.
a. Transfer location of mounting holes from miter saw base to
plywood.
b. Drill holes accordingly to the size of the hardware chosen.
NOTE: Hardware must be purchased to mount miter saw to
plywood. All purchased hardware should be a minimum of
Grade 5 or Class 8.8.
c. Secure miter saw to plywood as shown in Figure 5. Saw base
(E), 3/4" (19 mm) plywood (I), flat washer (F), lock washer (H)
and nut (G).
b. Engage the concave front lip of the mounting bracket with
rounded front edge of beam. One of the mounting brackets
must be engaged in the locator clip (D) to prohibit lateral
movement of the saw during use.
3. When the front edge of beam and locator clip are engaged, a slight
downward pivot will allow secure engagement of the release levers
to the back of the beam. Follow same procedure with second
mounting bracket at the appropriate position on the beam for the
size of the plywood.
4. Place plywood onto mounting brackets and align drilled holes
with slots in mounting brackets. Refer to DW7231 Hardware
