the arm fully forward before the table can be removed.
4. Loosen the product table locking knob.
5. Hold the product table and lift off. Since the pusher can slide or rotate, keep slicing table level.
6. Lift the locking knob on the center plate, hold with both hands and lift off the positioning pin.
