2. Safety Instructions

Always observe the following safety precautions to reduce the risk of injury or damage:

• Read all instructions: Before using the miter saw stand, read and understand all instructions provided in this manual and the miter saw's manual.
• Stable surface: Always set up the stand on a firm, level, and stable surface. Adjust the height-adjustable feet as necessary to ensure maximum stability.
