Unlock the clamping bolt of the support leg and allow the inner section to slide through until the foot is resting on the floor. Do not put the leg under tension at this time. 'Nip' up the clamp bolt. www.axminster.co.uk...
Mounting the Second Side Extension Leaf... A X M I N S T E R W H I T E Second Fig 12 Support leg extension leaf M8x20mm hexhead bolt Turn the leaf upside down on a work surface (or the saw table?) and attach the support leg to the outside edge, using the 20mm bolts and fastening through the two middle holes.
(See figs 15 & 16) The final phase is only a 'jacking' exercise and should not affect the previous settings. Make sure all the fixing bolts are generally finger tight. www.axminster.co.uk...
Setting the Sliding Table... A X M I N S T E R W H I T E Fig 15 Fig 16 Set the sliding table so that the front edge is inline with the front edge of the saw table. Place a long straight edge (a bit more than twice the width of the sliding table) along the front edges of the two tables.
Mounting the Sliding Table Fence Assembly... A X M I N S T E R W H I T E Introduce the Clamping Handle through its clamping washer and the arc slot into the tapped hole in the sliding table.

Attaching the Saw Hood Guard and the Extraction Hose... A X M I N S T E R W H I T E There is no requirement to remove the guard. The profile of the riving knife precludes the use of the saw for slotting or grooving, and the maximum depth of cut can be achieved with the guard in place.
Check the pointer is still correct. If the preset positioning is wrong, set the fence with a square/mitre gauge, set the pointer accurately against the scale, and clamp the fence in position without recourse to the presets. Remove the small mitre fence from the table and stow carefully aside. www.axminster.co.uk...
