INSTALLING TABLE SIDE EXTENSIONS (Fig. N)

1.Identify the right hand table extension.

NOTES:

For illustration purposes the view in Fig. N looks "through" the saw table to the under side of the table. The right hand table extension is the one with the measuring scale (1) visible from the front of the saw when it is installed to the right hand side of the saw table (Fig. N).

2.Open both front and rear cam locking levers (2) on the right hand side of the saw base by pulling them out from the cam locking assemblies (4).

3.Insert the table extension mounting tubes (3) into the two matching holes in the cam lever assemblies. NOTE: Make sure the front mounting tube has the measuring scale visible from the front of the saw.

4.Slide the table extension toward the table until it rests against the saw table.

5.Lock both cam locking levers by pushing them in toward the cam locking lever assemblies.
