2. Insert five 5/16-18 x 1" long square head bolts into the
holes as shown.
3. Attach flat washer, lockwasher and hex nut loosely, as

edge of the table and extension.
4. Slide the front guide bar slot over each of the square
head bolts as shown and finger tighten the five nuts.

time. Align the 7-1/8 inch mark on the right rip scale
with the right edge of the cast iron table top.
6. Push front guide bar against the saw table and exten-
sions. Finger tighten each nut on the table and exten-
sions. The guide bars will be aligned and the nuts
tightened at a later time.
WARNING: Front and rear guide bars must be
aligned with blade. Misaligned guide bars could
twist. Twisted guide bars could misalign fence. A
misaligned fence could cause binding or kickback.
You could be hit or cut.
