Craftsman 351.228040 Operator's Manual page 7

Tighten four hex head bolts and lock washers (Figure 9,
Nos. 4 and 10) very securely. This procedure will set the
table in parallel position and prevent the table from shifting.
MOUNT TABLE EXTENSIONS
Refer to Figure 9, page 22.
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.
MOUNT RIP FENCE RAILS AND EXTENSION TABLE
Refer to Figures 9 and 10, pages 22 and 24.
Attach rip fence front rail (Fig. 10, No. 6) to front of table
(Fig. 9, No. 1). Rails will extend out approximately 36" from
right side of saw.
NOTE: Front rail is 2 x 2", rear rail is 1V2x 1Vz'.
Place front rail, oriented as shown in Figure 10, against
the table and locate the holes in the table. Fasten rail to
table with pan head screws (Fig. 10, No. 7) and with
washers and nuts (Fig. 10, Nos. 27, 28 and 29) on the
inside of the table. Finger tighten loosely. Tighten securely
after all fasteners have been attached.
Place rear rail (Fig. 10, No. 31), oriented as shown in
Figure 10, against the table and locate the holes in the
table. Place hex head bolt (Fig. 10, No. 32) through hole in
rail, through spacer (Fig. 10, No. 30), and then through
hole in table. Secure with washers and hex nut (Fig. 10,
Nos. 27, 28 and 29) inside table. Finger tighten loosely.
Tighten securely after all fasteners have been attached.
Attach one 8mm hex nut and foot to each leg (Fig 10, Nos.
38, 39 and 42).
Attach each leg to the support bar using two 8mm hex
head bolts and lock washers (Fig. 10, Nos. 4, 5 and 41).
Set this assembly aside.
Position extension table (Fig. 10, No. 40) between the table
saw rails, with the holes in the table and rails aligned.
NOTE: The notch in the table should be positioned at the
right side of the front rail. Use clamps to secure table or
have another person support table.
Secure extension table to the front rail using two 8mm flat
head screws, flat washers and hex nuts (Fig. 10, Nos. 36, 37
and 38). Secure the left side of the extension table to the
rear rail using a 10x35mm hex head bolt, flat washer and
hex nut (Fig. 10, Nos. 32, 27 and 29). Secure the right side
of the extension table to the rear rail using a 10x70mm hex
head bolt, flat washer and hex nut (Fig. 10, Nos. 35, 27 and
29).
Place the guide rail (Fig. 10, No. 2) on top of the front rail
at this time. Do not attach scale to guide rail at this time.
Place a hex nut and flat washer (Fig. 10, Nos. 27 and 29)
onto the 10x70mm hex head bolt. Position the leg-support
bar assembled previously underneath table and with the
10x70mm hex head bolt through the vertical bend of the
support bar. Align holes in the support bar, front rail and
guide rail. Secure with 8mm hex head bolt and lock wash-
er (Fig. 10, Nos. 4 and 5).
Completely secure guide rail to front rail using five hex
head bolts (Fig. 10, Nos. 2, 4, 5 and 6).
Place a hex nut and fiat washer (Fig. 10, Nos. 27 and 29)
onto the 10 x 70mm hex head bolt. Tighten hex nuts
securely on both sides of the vertical bend of the support
bar.
Adjust feet level to floor and secure in position with hex nuts.
SCALE INSTALLATION
Refer to Figure 10, page 24.
Position left side of rip fence against right side of blade.
Mark the guide rail (No. 2) at the zero position indicated by
red line on lens (No. 20).
Remove the rip fence and apply a strip of masking tape
along the guide rail _/4" deep from front edge of rail.
Using the zero mark as the starting point and the masking
tape as a guide, apply the adhesive scale (No. 1) to guide
rail. Press scale firmly into place using heavy finger pres-
sure.
RIP FENCE ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
Refer to Figure 10, page 24.
Position rip fence assembly at end of saw. Be certain lock-
ing lever (No. 14) is in UP unlocked position.
Place rip fence assembly onto rails, positioning plastic pad
(No. 24) on rear rail (No. 31), and then placing rip fence
onto guide rail (No. 2).
Rip fence should now ride freely on rip fence rails. Once
rip fence is completely installed, it should be thoroughly
adjusted. (See Operation, page 11, Rip fence adjustment.)
BLADE GUARD INSTALLATION
Refer to Figures 5 and 8, pages 16 and 20 (Model 228040).
Refer to Figures 6 and 8, pages 17 and 20 (Model 228020).
Lower blade as far as possible and set tilt angle at 90 °.
Check that front support bracket (Fig. 8, No. 28) is in posi-
tion. Loosen hex head bolt and flat washer (Fig. 8, Nos. 27
and 26). Do not remove. Position the blade guard so it
points toward front of saw. Attach front of spreader (Fig. 5
or 6, No. 6) to front support bracket (Fig. 8, No. 28) with
hex bolt, and washer (Fig. 8, Nos. 27 and 26). Hand tight-
en, allow for adjustment.
Attach rear of spreader to upper rear spreader support
(Fig. 8, No. 40). Fasten with hex head bolt and flat washer
(Fig. 8, Nos. 26 and 27). Hand tighten; allow for adjust-
ment. Blade guard assembly is now attached, but it is not
useable until completely adjusted. The clear blade guard
(Fig. 5 or 6, No. 2) should point forward.
IMPORTANT: Be certain acrylic blade guard and antikickback
pawls are spring loaded, forcing them down to table surface.
Both blade guard and antikickback pawls should automatically
return to table surface after being lifted.
NOTE: The teeth of the antikickback pawls (Figures 5 or 6,
No. 9) should be angled toward the rear of saw.
This safety device is to help prevent workpiece from being
thrown back at operator.
