a straight edge ( the alminum fence supplied) on the
table extending out over the rear fence support rail.
Using a ruler and this straight edge, set the right side of
the rear fence support rail the same distance from the
table surface as the left hand side. Tighten right hand

INSTALL SLIDE TABLE ONTO SUPPORT RAILS:
STEP 32. Slides in slide table are equipped with ship-
ping/alignment plugs to limit slide movement.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT remove shipping/alignment
plugs before slide table is fully installed.
STEP 33. Slide table is heavy. Use extreme caution when
lifting. Use two people to lift slide table.
STEP 34. Lift slide table out of shipping box and place
onto support rails.
FIG. 19
STEP 35. You will need:
4 - 10 x 35mm hex head bolts
8 - Large 10mm flat washers
4 - 10mm lock washers
4 - 10mm nuts
In front of saw, place a large M10 washer on each bolt.
Install bolts through slots in slide table support pan and
support rails. In rear of saw, place a large M10 washer
between rear fence rail and slide table support pan.
(Fig. 19). Secure each bolt with a large M10 washer,
lock washer, and nut. Loosely tighten nut, then back off
one full turn. It may be necessary to align the flats on
the hex bolts with the rear rail.
STEP 36. Align slide table to saw table (Fig. 20). Prior
to adjustment, place the saw in it's final location. Insure
that shipping/alignment plugs are in place. Using a
coin, feeler gauge or thick paper as a shim, push the
sliding table toward the saw table, but leave a clear-
ance gap between them. The size of the gap is not
important, but should be relatively small and the two
tables should be parallel.
Adjust the height of the sliding table so it is approxi-
mately flush with the table saw top. The height adjust-
ment screws are on the front and rear support rails.
Before completeing the final height adjustment of the
table, tighten the four mounting bolts to seat them in
their holes, but then loosen them again so the final
adjustment can be made. The bolts need to be loose
enough to allow the brackets to move up and down as
the height adjustment screws are turned.

STEP 37. Adjusting the height of the sliding table.
(Fig.
21)
Prior
to
adjustment,
shipping/alignment plugs are in place. Place a straight
edge across the tablesaw top and extended over the
sliding table top. Adjust the height of the sliding table
by turning the screws clockwise to raise the sliding
table until it is just slightly higher than the tablesaw top.
If you need to back the adjustment screws out, make
sure you press down on the table to ensure it is seat-
ed on the top of the screws.
When the height is correct, tighten the four mounting
bolts and re-check both the height and the side clear-
ance with respect to the tablesaw top. Readjust as
necessary.

STEP 38. Remove shipping/alignment plugs (Fig. 22).
This can be done by unlocking slide lock and giving the
slide table a firm push. Once shipping/alignment plugs
are removed, slide table should move freely. Save
shipping/alignment plugs, if slide table needs future
adjustment, is to be removed from saw, or is to be
transported, reinstall shipping/alignment plugs by light-
ly tapping plugs into end of ball bearing slide with small
mallet.
