STEP 22. Install front Slide Table support rails. (Fig.
12)
You will need: 2 - 8mm flat washers
2 - 8mm lock washers
2 - 8mm nuts
Examine the two sliding table support rails to determine
which one is for the front and which one is for the rear.
The front rail will have the height adjustment screws to
the left side, and behind the face as shown.
The sliding table front rail is secured to the backside of
the front fence rail mounting brackets using the car-
riage bolts temporarily taped in place previously.
Position the front rail over the taped carriage bolts, and
add the washers and nuts. Snug the nuts down, but do
not tighten.

STEP 23. Attach slide table support bracket (Fig. 13).
You will need: 3 - 10 x 30mm flat head screws
Place tab on the end of the support bracket through the
rectangular hole in the slide table support rail, line up
countersunk holes in support bracket with threaded
holes in side of table saw table. Using the included T50
torx wrench, install three M10 x 30 screws directly into
the table, no washers or nuts needed. Tighten securely.
Ensure that the screw heads are flush with or recessed
below the bracket surface.

STEP 24. To prevent the rail from sagging over time and
causing misalignment with the slide table, pre-stress
the rail downward. Apply downward pressure to left
end of front slide table support rail so right end will rock
up into contact with underside of table saw table. Fully
tighten nuts on M8 carriage bolts.
STEP 25. Install rear mounting brackets. (Fig. 14)
You will need: 3 - flat mounting brackets
If you have either the 52" fence accessory or the out-
feed support table, you can use the existing supports
instead of installing a new one. Skip this step.
Attach the two mounting brackets to the tablesaw top
using the bolts, washers, and nuts, as shown in Fig.
14. Tighten securely. The brackets are mounted using
the round holes, and the slotted holes will hang below
the table top.
Attach the third mounting bracket to the rear of the right
hand support table. The bracket is mounted using the
round hole into the slot in the support table.
M8 CARRIAGE
When tightening nuts, keep the brackets positioned
(TAPED IN PLACE)
square to the table.

STEP 26. Install the rear sliding table support rail. (Fig. 15)
You will need: 2 - 10 x 35mm hex head bolts
2 - 10mm flat washers
2 - 10mm lock washers
2 - 10mm nuts
The rear sliding table support rail mounts inside the
brackets installed previously, and also locks onto the
tab of the support bracket similar to the way the front
rail is mounted. Temporarily insert the left side bolt and
nut to support the rail until you position the rear fence
support rail in the next step.

STEP 27. Install the rear fence support rail (Fig. 16).
If you are installing the sliding table to an existing saw,
take note that the rear fence support rail is inverted
from your original installation. The fence support rail
uses the same bolts as the sliding table support rail, but
is mounted on the outside of the brackets. Install the
right-hand bolt, washers and nut, and snug them up
without tightening. Remove the temporary bolt from the
left-hand bracket you installed above, and reinsert it
through the fence support rail bracket, and sliding table
support rail. The right-hand end of the fence support
rail should be even with the sliding table support rail.
