it's on the bottom, way at the back. it's a bit of a p.i.t.a. to get
to, but is doable. the one thing that may be a problem is the big bolt
in the center of the mount. there's not a lot of rotation room - it's
really designed for air tool access from what i can see.

there are also two small mounts on each side at the front, but they are
more like bump stops than proper mounts. thye have some adjustment so
you can try adjusting the positon of these a bit, but check the rear first.
