STEP 15. Adjust stabilizing legs by sliding them down
until they contact the floor. Tighten hardware securely.
STEP 16. Attach right side support table (Fig.5).
(If the support table is already installed or you have a
52" Rail System, skip this step.)
You will need: 3 - 10 x 25mm hex head bolts
3 - 10mm flat washers
3 - 10mm lock washers
Without the support table in place, install the 3 bolts in
the right side with washers as shown keeping 1/4" gap.
Rest a support table on the bolts, fitting into the notch-
es. Using the extruded fence face as a straightedge,
flush the support table to the saw table edge and snug
the front bolt. Repeat this process for the rear bolt and
the center bolt. Tighten hardware securely.

STEP 17. Install slide rail bolts to front fence mount-
ing brackets. (Fig. 6)
You will need: 2 - fence rail mounting brackets
2 - 8 x 25mm carriage bolts (no wahers
or nuts at this time)
2 - small pieces of tape
Insert the two 25mm carriage bolts through the square
holes on the flat side of two of the mounting brackets.
The head of the bolt should face forward as shown in
Fig. 5 . Temporarily hold them in place with a piece of
tape. This is done before mounting the brackets to the
rail, because you will not be able to insert these bolts
afterwards.

STEP 18. Install mounting brackets to fence rail tube
(Fig. 7). You will need:
3 - 8 x 20mm carriage bolts
3 - 8mm lock washers
3 - 8mm nuts
3 - mounting brackets (2 from step 17
above plus one more)
(Your saw is shipped with four fence rail mounting
brackets, but the left most bracket is not used with the
sliding table attachment, and can be set aside.)
Place the fence rail tube so that the scale reads
correctly.
Insert the three 20mm carriage bolts through the holes
on the curved face of each mounting bracket, and
loosely place a lock washer and nut on them. Put the
head of each carriage bolt into the keyhole slot of the
fence rail and slide them sideways to engage. The two
brackets with the additional carriage bolt taped in
place, are used for the middle keyholes. The third
bracket is used in the right most keyhole. Make sure all
three brackets face toward the rear of the fence rail.
Snug the nuts up, but do not tighten them all the way.
FIG. 7
STEP 19. Attach fence rail tube to saw (Fig. 8 and 9).
You will need:
2 - 10 x 30mm flat head screws
2 - 10mm flat washers
2 - 10mm lock washers
2 - 10mm nuts
Secure the middle two brackets of the fence rail tube to
the tablesaw top using the screws, washers, and nuts.
The washers and nuts should be on the inside edge of
the table. Snug the nuts, but do not tighten them.

STEP 20. Parallel the front fence rail tube to the saw
table (Fig. 10). Before you adjust the height of the
fence rail tube, tighten the two nuts that hold the tube
to the mounting brackets.
Place a straight edge on the table extending out over
the rail tube (you can use the aluminum fence from
your saw as a straight edge). Using a ruler and this
straight edge, check to see if both ends of the rail rube
are the same distance below the table. If you need to
raise or lower one side of the tube, use a rubber mal-
let, or a hammer and a block of wood to prevent dent-
ing the tube and tap on the rail gently. Fully tighten the
mounting bolts.

STEP 21. Attach front rail bracket to support table (Fig. 11)
(If you have a 52" Rail System, skip this step)
You will need: 1 - 10 x 30mm flat head screw
Align front bracket with the support table and tighten
bracket nuts to the rail. Attach the support table to the
outer front rail support bracket, keeping the washers
TAPE
and nut on the inside of the table. Using the fence face
as a straight edge, make sure the front outer corner of
the support table is level with the inner edge and main
table surface. Tighten hardware, including the 8mm rail
support bracket nut.
1 - 10mm flat washer
1 - 10mm lock washer
1 - 10mm nut
