TABLE EXTENSIONS
Two different table extensions have been supplied
with your saw; one is made of cast iron and the other
made of MDF material. The cast iron table extension
attaches to the saw table. It must be assembled first.
The MDF table is assembled after assembly of the
front and rear rails. It attaches to the front and rear
rails on the opposite side of the saw table.
The cast iron table should be assembled to the left
side of the saw table when viewing from normal
operating position. The MDF table extension should
be assembled to the right side ofthe saw table when
viewing from normal operating position.
ASSEMBLING CAST IRON TABLE EXTENSION
See Figure 10.
Locate the cast iron table extension and the small
hardware bag with the following:
4 hexbolts(5/16-18x 1 in.)
4 hex nuts (5/16-18)
8 flat washers (5/16 in.)
,_ WARNING: The table extensions not only
provide a better cut on the workpiece but help
protect you. Serious injury can result from
workpiece binding or kickback due to twisted
rails or a misaligned rip fence.
With the saw upside down, align cast iron table
extension with saw table. Put a flat washer on each
bolt. Attach the table extension to the saw table by
inserting the bolts from the direction of the table.
Slip the remaining flat washers and hex nuts on the
bolts. Lightly tighten them with a 12 mm wrench.
Get help to stand the saw assembly upright using
the center saw table. Do not grasp the saw by the
table extension.
,_ WARNING: The saw is very heavy. Do not lift
the saw table without help. Keep your knees
bent and lift with your legs, not your back.
Ignoring these precautions can result in back
injury.
ALIGNING CAST IRON TABLE EXTENSION
See Figure 11.
A good alignment allows the rails to slide on easily.
Stand at the front of the saw and line up the front
edges of the table and extension.
To align extension without damaging the table saw,
put a block of wood at the front of the table where
the extension meets the table, and tap the block
with a hammer. Check and repeat untilthe front
edges are even.
Lift extension slightly until it is higher than the table
(if necessary, place a block ofwood below and tap
upward). Center the block of wood over the front
and rear edges and tap until both are even (flush)
with saw table. Recheck the front alignment. If it is
even, tighten the screws with a 12 mm wrench.
