19 Before attaching tilt mechanisms to big board, you must ensure that the rear wood frame is sitting flush on the board surface. Adjust the tilt mechanisms as necessary to ensure no space is left between these surfaces, and then securely tighten the four screws that attach the tilt mechanisms to the rear oak crossbar
20 Mark the locations in large board for four holes in tilt mechanisms. Be sure bracket on end of tilt mechanism is flush to board. Use an awl or drill with 1/16" bit to make starter holes. Use care not to drill all the way through the tabletop. Attach using 3/4" Phillips screws. Tighten securely but use care not to over tighten and strip.
21 Attach drawer face to drawer front using 1" Phillips screws. Note: Drawer face has two sets of predrilled holes. Use the upper set and be sure that lock is on the right side. Use care to ensure face is attached straight, square, and centered to the drawer unit. Tighten screws securely.
22 Gripping drawer rails and drawer together, turn drawer upside down and align rail brackets with holes in wood rails attached to small board, as shown in diagram.
Attach using 3/4" Phillips screws. Tighten securely.
23 Carefully return assembled table to its upright position. This will require two people. Use care to keep drawer unit from sliding open.
24 Adjust tilt of tabletop to desired angle. The ratcheted tilt mechanisms allow you to set the tabletop at a variety of comfortable working angles. Simply lift the table top from the back edge until it clicks into the desired position. To return the top to the flat position, raise the back edge as high as it will go. This will release the ratchet mechanism.
25 And finally, just when you think you’re done, go back and retighten all the screws and bolts on the entire table to ensure that it remains strong, sturdy, and stable for many years of use. You may want to
as necessary.
26 Insert mushroom caps into unused side frame holes. These caps are pressure fit but you may want to apply a small drop of glue inside the hole to ensure they do not fall out over time.
Please save these instructions for future reference.
