STEP 39. Re-check parallel of rails to the saw table top
(Fig. 17). Using your fence face or a straightedge to
extend the table surface over the rear fence rails, make
sure the distance from the saw table top to the rail top
is the same at both the left and right side of the saw
table. If a rail is not aligned correctly, loosen all mount-
ing screws slightly and tap on the rail with a soft ham-
mer or a regular hammer and a block of wood until the
distances are the same. Tighten the hardware
attached to the saw table securely. Repeat for the
remaining attachment points checking the distance
along the full length of the rail.
STEP 40. See DW746 manual for Table Saw operating
instruction and adjustments.
