2.Assemble the four Insert Plate Adjustment Bolts and the four Nylock Nuts to table as shown in fig. G1.

After a few turns some resistance will be felt as the screws are gripped by the Nylock Nuts. Screw just enough to leave a few threads protruding through the nut.

3.Place the Insert Plate into the large opening in the table. The position of the plate should be with the Threaded Hole to the front right of the Table Surface, see fig. G2.

4.While pressing down on the Insert plate, gradually adjust the Insert Plate Adjustable Bolts with a screwdriver until the Insert Plate is level with the Table Surface. A steel rule or T-square can be placed on the top of the Insert Plate to help this levelling process.

The Insert Plate must be be supported equally on all four Insert Plate Adjustment Bolts. When pressure is applied, the Insert Plate should be stable.

5.Insert the four Insert Plate Retaining Bolts and fit the four Nylock Nuts to secure the Insert Plate to the Table Surface, and tighten securely, see fig.
