both ends of the table top. The distance should be equal at both ends.
• If adjustment is required, slacken the bolts (26) holding the brackets to
the saw. Tap the brackets using a soft hammer until the distances are
equal at both ends of the table top.
• Securely tighten the bolts.
Rear rail (fig. F6)
• Use the fence face (5) to extend the table surface over the rear rail (12).
• Measure the distance between the table top and the rail at both ends
of the table top. The distance should be equal at both ends.
