4. Mounting the Table Saw to the Stand

For optimal stability and safety, it is recommended to lay your table saw flat on its cutting surface (with blade guard and fence removed if necessary) to attach the stand. Alternatively, you can carefully align the saw with the stand's mounting brackets.

  1. Align the mounting holes on the base of your DEWALT table saw (e.g., DWE7490X, DWE7491RS, DWE7499GD, DWE7480, DW745) with the holes on the stand's mounting brackets.
  2. Insert the appropriate bolts through the saw's base and into the stand's brackets. Use the washers and nuts provided, ensuring a snug fit.
  3. Tighten all bolts securely. Double-check that the saw is firmly attached to the stand and there is no wobble.
