Installing the Back Rail

1.Locate the back rail which is 2" x 2" with holes running along one side only. The height of the back rail when attached to the saw is not critical, but it should be parallel to the table top.

2.Position the back rail approximately 9/16" below the surface of the table top, with the ends even with those of the front rail (Figure 27). Hold the back rail to the saw with clamps.

3.Drill 5/16" holes into the lip of the saw table using the holes in the back rail as a guide (see Figure 28).

Referring to Figure 29 :

4.Insert hex cap screws (A) and flat washers

(B)through the back rail and saw table and secure with flat washers (B), lock washers

(C)and hex nuts (D). Finger-tighten only at this time.

The rest of the installation is the same as with a Powermatic table saw. Refer back to page 6 to mount the optional wood extension table (if applicable) and the guide tube on page 8, and proceed from there.
