The rail positions described above will provide support
for the base of the TS III for work on either the left or
right side of the blade.  Left hand range is about 16"
and right hand range is 31".  These same rail positions
will accommodate the optional 18" router table on the
left or 24" router table on the right.  

If you wish to customize the setup to suit your needs,
just slide the rails left or right as necessary.  Keep in
mind that sliding the rails to the right subtracts from
your range to the left and sliding the rails to the left
subtracts from your range to the right.

Set final mounting bracket position

Clamp the (2) TS III base clamps to the front rail as

shown in 

  and loosen the bolts that secure the

mounting brackets to your table saw. The rail and mounting
brackets will drop down until the base clamps touch the top
of your saw, 

 .  This locates the final mounting bracket

position. Tighten the bolts that secure the mounting brackets
to your table saw.  Repeat for the rear rail.
