B A B A Fig E1 Fig E2 To attach the Saw Frame to the Stand use the assembly hardware (Fig. E1). Make sure the wheel brakes are in the locked position to prevent the Stand from rolling during assembly (Fig E2). Set the stand on a firm, flat and level surface. Do not set the stand on soft, uneven ground, or on debris in the work area.
