ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
TOOL MOUNT ADJUSTMENT SCREW
TO ADJUST
Most plastic tool mounts are designed to fit snugly over the stand rails. With the locking levers in
the lowered (locked) position, you should not be able to remove the saw and tool mount
assembly from the rails. If the saw and tool mount can be removed from the rails when the levers
are locked, the tool mount adjustment screws need to be tightened. If the saw and the tool
mount assembly will not fit over both rails, the bracket adjustment screws needs to
be loosened.
NOTE: The saw should be removed from the tool mounts before attempting to tighten or
loosen the tool mount adjustment screws.
Figure 13.
1. Use a wrench to slightly loosen the nut.
2. Turn the screw with a Phillips screwdriver. Rotate clockwise if the tool mount assembly needs
to be tightened or counterclockwise if the assembly needs to be loosened.
3. Install the tool mount on the Contractor Miter Saw Station rails and lower the locking
lever to check the adjustment.
4. When the correct position is achieved, tighten the nut with a 10mm open-ended wrench
to secure.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to attach the second tool mount.
FIG 13
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage
from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths
to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

1. Unplug the saw and lock the saw arm in the down position.
2. Place a tool mount underneath the saw, aligning the mounting holes on the miter saw base
with the slot in the top of the tool mount.
3. Feed a carriage bolt up through both the tool mount and a mounting hole in the saw.
4. Secure in place using a flat washer, spring washer, and nut.
5. Repeat through the other end of the tool mount.
6. Place the second tool mount underneath the other side of the saw, aligning the mounting

Offset Mounting Brackets
Figure 7.
1. Lay out all parts before starting the assembly process.
2. Select a Storage Handle (Part 25) and position it where desired on one mounting rail. Run
two M8*20 Carriage Bolts through the slots in the rail arms and attach using a #8 washer and
nut. These handles are designed to store tools and can be located where most convenient
for the user by sliding it along the rail. See Figure 8. Tighten the bolts and repeat for the
second arm. The handles should face opposite directions (outward) when the two
completed arms are next to each other.
3. Attach the Rapid Clamp Tool Mounting Rail to the lower portions of the Rapid Clamp Tool
Mounts base using two M8*20 Carriage Bolts (Part 14) and two M8 Nuts (Part 15), making
sure that the threaded portion is facing down toward the base (only hand tighten at
this point).
4. To determine the best placement of the power tool on the Rapid Clamp Tool Mounting Rail,
place the Rapid Clamp Tool Mounts onto the body of the Miter Saw Station and estimate the
tool’s center of gravity as it relates to the Miter Saw Station. The Rapid Clamp Tool Mounting
Rail can be adjusted forward and/or backward as needed, as long as its excess material
doesn’t affect workflow during the normal use of the tool.
