Assembly (continued)

Assembling Table Extensions

1. From the bag labeled "Table Extensions" remove the
following hardware: (Quantity indicated is for two
extensions)
8 Hex Head Screws, 5/16-18 x 1-1/4" Long
8 Flat Washers, 11/32 x 11/16 x 1/16
8 Lockwashers, 5/16" External Type
8 Hex Nuts, 5/16-18
NOTE: Assemble with saw upside down.
WARNING: Stock table extensions must be
installed. They help support the fence guide bars.
An unsupported guide bar can twist. Twisted guide
bars can misalign fence. A misaligned fence can
cause binding or kickback. You could be hit or cut.
2. Insert four (4) 5/16-18 x 1-1/4 in. long screws through
the holes in each extension.
3. Position extension against table so screws extend
through hole in table.
4. Install flat washers, lockwasher, and nuts on the
screws. With a 1/2" wrench, snug the four nuts just
enough to take the play out between the table and
extension. Do not tighten.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 to install the other extension.
6. Stand saw upright on legs. Roll saw over onto front
then up onto feet.
WARNING: The saw is heavy. To reduce the risk of
back injury, get help to lift the saw. Hold the saw
close to your body. Bend your knees so you can lift
with your legs, not your back.
7. Line up the front edge of extension with the front edge
of the table. Pull up on front and rear of sheet metal
side extension so it is higher than table. Using a block
of wood and hammer as shown, tap the extension
down until it is even with table top. Recheck alignment
of front edge of table and extension. Tighten front and
rear extension mounting nuts only.
WARNING: Table extensions must be installed.
Front edge of table and extensions must be lined
up. An uneven front edge can twist the fence guide
bar. Twisted guide bars can misalign fence. A mis-
aligned fence can cause binding or kickback. You
could be hit or cut.
8. Using the block of wood, check to see if center of
extension is flush with table top. If adjustment is
needed, push the extension into alignment and tighten
center two mounting nuts.
9. Using a straightedge or rear guide bar as a guide,
bend the side extensions by pulling up or pushing
down on the outer edge until the entire extension is in
line with the cast iron table. Repeat steps 7 and 8 to
align the other extension.
