1.Remove screws holding saw to pallet, by unscrewing them from underneath pallet.

2.Carefully slide saw from pallet onto floor.

The cabinet saw should be placed in an area with a sturdy level floor, good ventilation and sufficient lighting. Leave enough space around the machine for mounting extension wings and rail assemblies, and loading and off-loading stock and general maintenance work.

Exposed metal surfaces, such as table top and extension wings, have been given a protective coating at the factory. This should be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene or a cleaner- degreaser. Do not use acetone, gasoline, or lacquer thinner for this purpose. Do not use solvents on plastic parts, and avoid using an abrasive pad as it can scratch surfaces.

7.4Installing handwheels and hooks

Refer to Figure 3.

1.Install handwheels (J, Figure 3) onto tilting and raising shafts, as shown. Fit the slot of handwheel hub onto roll pin on shaft, then secure by screwing on a locking knob (H).

2.Install handle (I) onto each handwheel, using 14mm wrench on the flat to tighten it.

3.Install storage hooks (F) with two button head screws and washers (HP-4/5/6). The hooks are used to store the Accu-Fence when it is not in use.

4.Tilt arbor using right handwheel, and remove Styrofoam packing from around motor.

7.5Installing table extensions

Refer to Figure 4.

1.Attach an extension wing to saw table. There is a left and a right version – make sure edge bevel on table extension faces front, to match that of saw table. Use three screws, lock washers and flat washers (HP-1/2/3). Lightly snug screws with 17mm wrench.

(Assembly Tip: If you are doing this without an assistant, lift extension wing vertically to table

edge. Install center screw and washer, and make snug. Then pivot wing parallel to saw table to insert remaining two screws.)

Figure 4

2.Repeat for opposite extension wing. Lightly snug screws.

3.The front edge of extension wings must be flush with front edge of saw table. If needed, tap front edge of wing with a rubber mallet to make flush. See Figure 5.
