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.

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.
