If an adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows: (Refer
to Figures 3 and 11). Loosen the hex head bolts and lock
washers (Fig. 11, Nos. 4 and 10) to the cabinet (Fig. 11,
No. 11). Shift the table until a position is found where
the saw blade is parallel to the miter gauge slots.

Tighten four hex head bolts and lock washers (Figure 11,

table in parallel position and prevent the table from shifting.
MOUNT TABLE EXTENSIONS
Refer to Figure 11, page 24.
Be certain both edges of table (No. 1) and table extension
(No. 2) are clean and free from any preservative, debris
or burrs.
Attach each table extension with three hex head bolts, lock
and flat washers (Nos. 3, 4 and 29). Fasten the hex head
bolts and lock washers to matching tapped holes in table.
Hand tighten.
Using a straightedge,
set top of extension flush with the
table top. Extension should also be centered front to rear.
First, slightly tighten the center bolt. If either end is not
flush, tap extension up or down with rubber mallet. Bring
extension in line with table. Securely tighten one bolt at
a time, keeping extension flush with table top.
