ASSEMBLY

This kit also includes brackets and connecting hardware for making an extension table behind the blade to provide support and control when ripping large panels. The size of this table should be made according to application requirements and individual preferences.

TO ATTACH TABLE BRACKETS

See Figure 10.

Insert the (four) square head bolts (1/4-20 x 1/2 in.) into slot in back of rear rail of your table saw and rear extension rail.

Space bolts along rails as needed to accomodate rear extension table.

Attach remaining four table brackets to rails and secure with washers (1/4 in.) and hex nuts (1/4 in.) provided.

Hand tighten hex nuts.

REAR EXTENSION TABLE TOP (not supplied)

See Figure 11.

We suggest you cut a piece of plywood 82 in. long by 3/4 in. thick. As previously mentioned the width should be determined according to application requirements and individual preferences. Two slots should be cut in the plywood as shown in figure 11. These slots will permit sliding miter table to continue to be used as it was designed. Slots must be cut large enough to permit full travel of sliding miter table, so as not to lose its versatility.

Place rear extension table top in desired position on table brackets and adjust table brackets as needed.

Tighten the (four) hex nuts securely.

Secure rear extension table top with wood screws (#10 x 5/8 in.) provided. See Figure 8.

NOTE: These screws mount from underneath table top the same way auxiliary table top mounts to table brackets.

TABLE LEGS (not supplied)

See Figure 8.

Table legs (four) for the rear extension table should be constructed. Construct them similar to methods explained for making table legs for auxiliary extension table. Either 2 x 4s or Ryobi Leg Set, # 4730305 can be used.

A piece of 2 x 4 for securing table legs would need to be mounted on bottom of rear extension table. It should be located close to the end of rear extension table.

If extra bracing is needed, cut pieces of scrap wood and attach to bottom of table legs. See Figure 11.
