Ok i think i remember here is a bigger picture http://www.gilmour.com/wp-content/uploads/20-18.jpg i think i did have to drill a hole in the black plastic [your mileage may vary] and then the extension 'clipped' onto the black plastic tube

you seem to be missing a part. the saw assembly and hook should have a black plastic tailpiece attached that fits right into the pole and snaps in just like a pole extension. the screw that goes through the head base connects the tailpiece that fits right into the pole

You have to drill a hole. It's easy. I think some reviews cover how to do it.

It has been several years, but i remember it was not intuitive. i think there is a black short plastic tube, that attaches the blade assembly to the pole, and in the end the head attaches like the rest of the extensions.it took me a bit to figure it out, i put it together and it has worked wonderfully since then great saw!

Just got mine delivered. There is no hole in the plastic piece that the saw blade fits into, had to drill a hole...Seems like a simple thing for the manufacture to do and since there were no directions I wasn't sure if this was what you had to do till I read this line of answers on Amazon

I did not have to drill a hole. Everything for mounting was right there with the one screw. I don't know what all the others are talking about but I mine was fine.

Mine didn't have a hole in the black plastic adapter either, and I have no idea why a clip over a hole that is obviously for a rope or something.

I am in utter disbelief that this has not been remedied in the several years since I bought mine. Yes, one has to drill holes to complete the process. I was fortunate in having a drill press and all the bits I could ever need to perform the needed alterations. Gilmour: What were you thinking? Why have you not fixed this?

the blade comes fully assembled... just open the package and slide your new blade into place ...you're ready to go

A section of old hack saw blade will work well. If necessary one could use a knife if nothing else is available. I prefer not to use my knife in such a way.

I mounted mine on a Craftsman saw and had to drill. I drilled the mount not the saw. Chances are you may have to drill.

Yes and no! The pieces of wood are held on with screws through a plastic matrix. There are extra holes in the matrix but they don't always line up with the cut pieces of wood. Takes a bit of thinking. I used a table saw, after I put the screws in the needed positions. it's a moderately difficult task cutting and fitting. Mine came out great, after some engineering and work. You'll love it when it's done.

I made a simple 3/4" plywood base for my saw and put a 2x6x10 block underneath it in the middle of the saw screwed to the plywood. Put some 2x2 runners on each outer end of the plywood (so you can have it sit flat). When I use my saw I just put the 2x6x10 block in between the clamps and lock it in place. Good firm placement and use it all day. I suggest getting the Rockwell adjustable tripod stand to support long pieces.

Unscrew the bottom counter clockwise then you will see the top piece come off, insert the blade through the holes, then screw together.

You need to purchase a router mounting plate from someone like bench dog. You could cut an opening in the extension table top or buy a cast iron wing from someone else that has a mounting plate built in it. Do a quick Google search and you'll find all kinds of options. The saw is amazing though so good luck

My saw stand had a set of off-set brackets to accommodate the Hatachi saw. I don't like it but the other option is to mount the saw on a plywood base and mount the base. Ed

I had no instructions. I uses some scrap wood and adjusted the drill setting until I had what I wanted. You may be able to find some information from the manufacturer on line.

Dear G Y Cooper: According to my brother, who puts it up for us, the whole main part (motor head, blades, cage) has been already put together. He simply does the pole and the base, following its easy to read instructions. He said it's not hard at all. Hope this will help. The Vus

As was previously stated, the saw does not need to be mounted to the supplied base in order to work properly. A custom base or other such cabinet could be substituted. Whether Jet offers any other 'official' alternatives I don't know. Good luck!

When I assembled mine all the holes were where they were supposed to be and the respective bolts fit through the respective holes perfectly as per directions /pictures . Seemed quite straight forward ... no extra parts left over no extra holes . Thing been holding together quite well with almost daily hauling of forest products / fencing supplies /tools . Perhaps you could further clarify your question .

Yeah this is good to go, no need for extra accessories. At the end of the pole are the classic two hole mounts. You should already have a screw/nut from your other mounts. You'll need to reuse one of those to screw it in.

i bought the saw and when i tried to put the saw together the instructions was not in the box,so if at all possible i would like to have the instructions sent to me at rafferty.kenneth@yahoo.com

Take the wrench out of its holder and loosen up bolt holding the blade. You will have to engage the blade stop that is located on the front side of the saw. Remove the bold and blade and then to install a new blade just reverse this procedure making sure you install the blade in the correct rotation.

You don't need holes in your bar! Just slide the bar into the clamp close to the saw, and tighten the two bolts underneath the clamp! then you are set!
