Referring to Figure 5:

3.Secure the back rail (A) to the pre-tapped holes in the saw table (B) in two places with 5/16-18 x 7/8 hex cap screws (C), 5/16 lock washers (D), and 5/16 flat washers (E). Finger tighten only.

4.Use the adjustable square to measure at several points along the rail to achieve parallel with table. Tighten screws securely with a 12mm wrench.

Important: If you are installing an optional wood extension table on your saw, it should be installed first before mounting the guide tube. This will prevent having to mount and align the guide tube twice.

If you are not mounting an optional wood table, proceed to Installing the Guide Tube on page 8.

Installing the Wood Extension Table

The wood extension table is an optional accessory.

Tools required:

‰Electric drill

‰Philips screwdriver

‰10mm and 12mm wrenches

‰Four clamps

‰Straight edge

‰Hammer (or rubber mallet)

Installing the Legs

Legs are optional accessories. If your wood table does not require legs, proceed to “Installing the Table.”

1.Place the optional wood extension table upside down. (Use a mat or cloth to protect the surface). Position the legs at the inside corners of the wood table at the end where the Powermatic logo is placed. See Figure 6.

Note: If you are using a mobile base under your saw, you may need to shift the placement of the legs so that they rest properly upon the shelves of the base.

2.Drill pilot holes, making sure not to drill completely through the table and sides.

3.Secure with the eight screws provided.

4.Turn the wood table right-side up.

5.The footpads on the legs can be rotated to help level the wood table with the saw during the following procedure. Tighten the nut against the end of the leg to secure a footpad’s position.
