SETUP
7. Align the mounting holes, then thread (2) M8-1.25
x 30 cap screws, 8mm lock washers, and 8mm flat
washers through the sliding table into the mounting
holes of the saw table.
8. Move the sliding table to the right and install the
remaining M8-1.25 x 30 cap screw, 8mm lock washer,
and 8mm flat washer.
9. Place the straightedge across the saw table and
the sliding table at each end to make sure that the
combined table surface is flat.
— If the combined table surface is flat, skip to the
next step.
— If the outside edge of the sliding table tilts down,
use strips of masking tape along the bottom edge
of the saw table to shim the sliding table up and
even with the saw table from side to side (see
Figure 9).
— If the outside edge of the sliding table tilts up,
use strips of masking tape along the top edge
of the saw table to shim the sliding table down
and even with the saw table from side to side
(see Figure 10).
Note: After reinstalling the sliding table, remove all
excess masking tape with a razor blade.
10. Adjust the leg feet until they are firmly on the floor
but not affecting the alignment between the saw
and sliding tables, then tighten the feet jam nuts
against the legs to secure the settings.
11. Make sure the miter gauge slots of the saw table are
parallel to the saw blade according to the table saw
owner's manual.
In the next steps, you will align the sliding table
parallel with the saw blade. This is necessary to
ensure straight cutting operations and to prevent
workpieces from binding and kicking back.
12. Tilt the main saw blade to 0° and raise it all the way
up.
