2.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all parts are present according to the packing list. Dispose of packaging materials responsibly.

2.3 Attaching Support Arms and Rollers

Insert the adjustable support arms into the designated slots on the main frame. These arms can extend from 93.5 cm to 194.5 cm wide to accommodate various material lengths. Secure them in place using the locking mechanisms.

The support arms include height-adjustable rollers. Adjust the height of these rollers between 80 cm and 91.5 cm to match the height of your mitre saw's cutting surface. This ensures proper material support and alignment.

2.4 Mounting Your Mitre Saw

Place your mitre saw onto the mounting brackets of the stand. Secure the saw firmly using the provided fasteners or your saw's mounting hardware. Ensure the saw is centered and stable before operation. Refer to your mitre saw's manual for specific mounting instructions if necessary.

3. Operating Instructions

Once assembled and your mitre saw is securely mounted, the UMF1550 stand is ready for use.

3.1 Preparing for Cutting

• Adjust Support Arms: Extend the support arms to the desired width to support your workpiece. Lock them securely.
• Adjust Roller Height: Ensure the rollers on the support arms are adjusted to the same height as your mitre saw's cutting table. This prevents material from binding or tipping.
• Position Workpiece: Place your material on the stand, ensuring it is fully supported by the rollers and the saw's table.
