Assembly; Installing Handwheels On Table Saw Base; Assembling Leg Stand - Craftsman 315.228310 Owner's Manual

Assembly is best done in the area where the saw will be used. When you remove the table saw base, loose
parts, and hardware from the packing materials, check all items with the loose parts list and drawing. If you are
unsure about the description of any part, refer to the drawing. If any parts are missing, delay assembling until
you have obtained the missing part(s).
INSTALLING HANDWHEELS ON TABLE SAW
BASE
See Figure 6.
Each handwheel bag contains a handwheel, a
screw (3/16-24 x 1/2 in.), and a flat washer (3/16
in.).
Align handwheels to the shaft ends that extend from
the front and right side of the table saw base. Match
the flat spots on the shaft and inside the handwheel.
Insert a screw and a flat washer in the handwheel
center and tighten with a 4 mm hex key.

ASSEMBLY

Note: If you do not use the leg stand and mount the
saw table base on a bench instead of the legs, go to
the procedure for Assembling Table Extensions. Be
sure the bench surface has an opening for sawdust to
fall through. The opening should be as large as the
opening in the bottom of the saw table base. A height
of 36 inches from the top of the saw table to the floor
is recommended.
