[. . . ] Also, if the piece being cut is placed far beyond the work support, stand legs on the opposite side may suddenly be lifted up due to weight imbalance. To prevent this from occurring, hold the opposite side firmly before cutting. Also remember to occasionally check the stand and make sure it is still tight. A loose stand is unstable and may shift in use and cause serious injury. [. . . ] Secure in place using a flat washer (4), lock washer (5), and nut (6).

Carriage bolt (11) through the support bar (7) and rear mounting hole of the saw. Secure the three bolts using a flat washer (12), lock washer (13), and nut (14). After making sure both brackets are parallel to each other, finger tighten all four nuts to hold in position. Lift the saw and bracket assembly, allowing the assembly to tilt slightly toward your body. While still tilted toward you, hook the front edge of the bracket assembly onto the front rail (1) of the stand, figure 8. To avoid serious personal injury, make sure the curved front edge of the mounting brackets are securely seated over the front rail before seating the other end of the brackets. Failure to do so could cause you to lose control of the saw mounting assembly. Lower the bracket assembly to allow the rear edge of the bracket to seat fully over the rear rail, figure 9. NOTE: Continue to hold the mounting bracket assembly with one hand until both levers are securely locked. Check position and adjust, if necessary, to make sure the weight of the saw is evenly balanced over the rails as shown in figure 9. Ensure the saw is fully seated and locked in position, then securely tighten the four nuts holding the saw to the saw mounting brackets. With the assembly tilted slightly toward you, lift the front part of the assembly to disengage from the front rail of the stand. The mounting brackets are designed to fit snugly over the stand rails. With the locking knobs in the tightened (locked) position, you should not be able to remove the saw and bracket assembly from the rails. If the mounting brackets will not fit over the rails, or if the mounting brackets can be removed from the rails when the brackets are locked, remove from the saw and bracket assembly immediately and tighten the bracket adjustment screw as described in the Adjustments section of this manual.
