INSTALLING THE FRONT TABLE

See Figures 23A - 23C.

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 1-3/4in.)

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 worksurface, 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 23B.

Place the table, top up, on the table supports so the center counterbored hole lines up over the hole in

the U-clip.
