Loosen the set screw in the column collar. Remove the column collar and gear rack from the column and set aside.

Locate the worm gear and feed the D-shaft through the hole in the table assembly.

Install table adjustment handle over the end of the D-shaft so that the flat side of the shaft aligns with the set screw. Tighten the set screw using the hex key.

Feed the gear rack through the slot in the table assembly so that the teeth are facing out and the longer smooth end faces up. The worm gear should engage the gear rack.

Using both hands, slide the entire table assembly and gear rack onto the column until the bottom of the gear rack is positioned in the base collar and against the column.

Slide the column collar, bevel-side down, over the column until the beveled side engages the beveled end of the gear rack. Tighten the set screw in the collar using the hex key. Do not overtighten.

NOTE: You should be able to move the table from side to side.

Locate the table lock handle. Insert it into the threaded hole at the rear of the table assembly and tighten by hand.
