DW7231 Universal Miter Saw Mounting
Method (Fig. 1, 7–9)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off,
disconnect machine from power source before assembling the
miter saw to the miter saw stand. An accidental start-up can
cause injury.
WARNING: Stability Hazard. You must use the plywood mounting
method described in the following instructions when mounting a
miter saw not manufactured by D
EWALT to this miter saw stand.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, be sure the
miter saw is fully anchored on the stand.
WARNING: For your own safety, read and understand the miter
saw instruction manual before using. Failure to heed these warnings
may result in personal injury and serious damage to the miter saw
and the accessory.
NOTE: If you do not have a D
EWALT miter saw, you must use 3/4"
(19mm) plywood to mount your miter saw.
The plywood must be a minimum of 4" (101.6mm) wider than the
largest width of the miter saw base. The plywood should be at least
as deep as the smallest depth of the miter saw base or a minimum
of 16" (406.4mm) if miter saw base is smaller. Ensure the plywood
is square.
1. Once the Plywood size has been determined, drill 3/8" (9.5mm)
holes 1" (25.5 mm) from the front corners of plywood, 15"
(355mm) apart and 1" (25.5mm) from the sides.
2. Place DW7231 mounting brackets on the stand:
a. Grasp and squeeze release levers (G).
b. Engage the concave front lip of the mounting bracket with
rounded front edge of beam. One of the mounting brackets
must be engaged in the locator clip (I) to prohibit lateral
movement of the saw during use.
5. Repeat procedure on the other end of the bracket.
6. Move the 2x4 to the other side of the saw to hold the other end
of the saw up in order to access the saw base.
7. Feed carriage bolts through the other bracket and the base of
the saw as before. Ensure both brackets are parallel to each
other.
8. To place the saw onto the stand, grasp and lift saw by mounting
bracket assembly by the release levers. These levers do not
lock the saw laterally in place but merely serve as a means of
mounting the saw to the beam.

assembly tilting toward your body slightly.
Engage the concave front lip of the
mounting bracket with rounded edge of
beam. One of the brackets must engage
the locator clip (I) to prohibit lateral
movement of the saw during use.
10. When front edge of the beam and locking locator clip are
engaged, a slight downward pivot will allow secure engagement
of the release levers to the back of the beam. Rock the saw
gently on the brackets to verify locking in position.
11. Adjust the saw position as necessary to have the blade
perpendicular to the beam when in the 0 degree miter position.
12. Tighten the four nuts holding the saw to the brackets securely.
