8Hex Head Screws, 5/16-18 x 3/4" Long with washers

NOTE: Assemble with saw upside down.

WARNING: Stock table exten- sions must be installed. They help support the fence guide bars. An unsupported guide bar can twist. Twisted guide bars can misalign fence. A misaligned fence can cause binding or kick- back. You could be hit or cut.

2.Insert four (4) 5/16-18 x 3/4 in. long screws with washers through the holes in each extension and screw into the table. Do not tighten.

3.Repeat step 2 to install the other extension.

4.Stand saw upright on legs. Roll saw over onto front then up onto feet.

WARNING: The saw is heavy. To reduce the risk of back injury, get help to lift the saw. Hold the saw close to your body. Bend your knees so you can lift with your legs, not your back.

5.Line up the front edge of extension with the front edge of the table. At the spots marked “X” in the drawing, tighten a “C” Clamp over the edge of table and extension. Use a combination square to check the alignment of the front and top edges nearest the “X”’s. Tighten the two corner nuts only with a 1/2" wrench.

NOTE: This assembly may also be done without the use of a “C” Clamp.
