INSTALLING THE FRONT TABLE

See Figures 22A - 22C.

Use this procedure to install the fixed front table.

The top of the table has counterbored holes, predrilled from the top, around the center to attach the table. In the center are a counterbored hole and a small hole, which is not counterbored. They are used for raising or lowering the center of the table until it is level.

Locate the front table and the following hardware: 1 tee nut

1 U-clip (1/4 in.)

1 setscrew (1/4-20 x 7/8 in.)

4 pan head screws (1/4-20 x 1 in.)

1 pan head screw (1/4-20 x 1-3/4 in.) 5 flat washers (5/8 in.)

4 lock washers (1/4 in.)

4 hex nuts (1/4-20)

Place the front table on a solid worksufface, with the top surface face down. Place the tee nut in the

non-counterbored hole and tap it in place with a hammer.

Snap the U-clip onto the front edge of the saw base. Line up the hole in the U-clip with the saw base hole just to the left of the center notch in saw base. See Figure 22B.

Place the table, top up, on the table supports so the center counterbored hole lines up over the hole in the U-clip.

Place a flat washer in each counterbored hole.

Place the long pan head screw into the center hole and thread into the U-clip. Do not tighten until the

table has been checked for evenness. See Figure 22A.

Place the setscrew through the small leveling hole and thread into the tee nut, but do not tighten.

Put a 1 in. long pan head screw in the four remain- ing holes and through the holes in the support.

Cap with a lock washer and hex nut. Tighten with a 7/16 in. wrench and phillips screwdriver. This completes installation of the front table.
