leave it to them to make a minor change...LOL. The way yours folds up does seem more complicated, but it might be safer if you do not need to do any bending over. Michael

I'll pull it out again today, but my saw had this thing that reminded me of a peddle that you flipped with your foot. I wonder if they changed the stand some. I have the TS2410LS which apparently replaced the 2400 with very few changes. Seems this way is a tad more complicated since you have hands and feet in the operation. Of course it's not in front of me, but the way I did it was to stand at the end without the wheels and this is the end where you store the guard, fence, etc. There's this peddle-tyep thing you flip up with your foot and you tip the saw up on end and it locks in that position and now it's standing up. The only part is you have to be sure you walk with it to insure it locks. It really is a nice saw and did an excellent job yesterday. Yes, I sort of figured out the micro adjustment finally when I was looking at the fence a little more closely, but I didn't think to push directly on the wheel. tnx On Jun 27, 2008, at 9:43 AM, Michael Baldwin wrote: > Scott, > > I am not sure i did it right the first few times either.
