 Stand at the wheel side of the MSUV and grasp the
handles.
 Step on the release lever and pull the handles toward you

BRACKETS
See Figures 9 - 10, page 15.
Always position the saw to achieve maximum balance and
stability. All four corners of the saw must be bolted to the
saw mounting brackets before use. Make sure bolts do not
extend above the table of the miter saw.
NOTE: Two sets of bolts have been provided for use when
securing tools to the mounting brackets. Use the M8 x 30
set or the M8 x 50 set depending on the height of the tool.
NOTE: Ensure that saw mounting brackets can be clamped
securely onto stand before mounting saw. If locking lever on
saw mounting bracket cannot easily be pushed down into
the closed position, the adjustment screw is too tight. Do
not force locking lever into the closed position. Loosen the
adjustment screw. Refer to the Maintenance section later in
this manual for mounting bracket adjustment.
If the saw has mounting holes that line up with the slots
in the saw mounting brackets:
 Disconnect the saw from power supply and lock the saw
arm in the down position.
 Place two 2 x 4 or similar type of stable support
underneath the saw to raise the saw and allow access
to the saw's mounting feet.
 Place the saw mounting bracket underneath the raised
side of the saw, and insert bolt through bracket slots and
mounting holes in saw.
NOTE: The saw mounting brackets should be placed so
that the lock levers face the front of the saw.
 Loosely secure in place using a flat washer, lock washer,
and hex nut.
 Insert second bolt through bracket and saw, then loosely
secure.
 Repeat procedure to attach second bracket to saw.
 After making sure both brackets are parallel to each other,
lightly tighten all four nuts to hold in position.
If the saw has holes that do not line up with the slots in
the saw mounting brackets:
 Disconnect the saw from power supply and lock saw arm
in the down position.
 Mount the saw to a mounting surface at least 1/2 in. thick
using bolts, washers, and nuts.
 Drill holes in the mounting surface to match the position
of the slots in the saw mounting brackets.
 Proceed with installation as previously described.
MOUNTING THE MITER SAW TO THE MSUV
See Figures 11 - 12, page 16.
WARNING:
Do not mount miter saw to MSUV before ensuring
MSUV can be opened and locked securely. Failure
to do so may result in possible injury and damage
the tool.
 Make sure lock levers are in the unlocked position.
 Lift the saw and bracket assembly, allowing the assembly
to tilt slightly toward your body.
 While still tilted toward you, place the front end of the
saw and bracket assembly onto the the top rails so the
front clamps of the bracket assembly seat fully over top
rails.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, make sure the
curved front edge of the saw mounting brackets
are securely seated onto the MSUV top rails before
seating the other end of the brackets. Failure to
do so could cause you to lose control of the saw
and bracket assembly, which could cause serious
personal injury.
 Lower the saw and bracket assembly to allow the rear
clamp of the bracket to seat fully over the toprails.
 Lock the brackets in position by lowering the locking
levers.
NOTE: Continue to hold the saw and 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 top rails.
 Ensure the saw is fully seated and locked in position, then
securely tighten the four nuts holding the saw to the saw
mounting brackets.
