 INSTALLING THE TABLE

1. 

First, remove the table insert and pin. 
The insert can be pressed or tapped 
out carefully from below, while the pin is 
tapered and may require a spanner or 
vise grips to loosen and slide out.

2. 

Lift the table and align the pre-installed 
blade to the table slot. Slide the blade 
through the slot, then rotate the table 
90° clockwise, so the slot now faces the 
outside right of the machine from the 
front. Lower the table into place, taking 
care to align the trunnion bolts below the 
table, into the corresponding slots on 
the trunnions. Fig. C1 and C2

3. 

Screw the two lock knobs onto the bolts 
through the trunnion brackets to secure 
the table, but leave a little loose. Fig. C3 
Congratulations - you now only have the 
rip fence left to install, but we’ll do that 
after we set the table up.
