7.3 Unpacking and cleanup
1. Remove all contents from shipping container.
Do not discard any shipping material until saw
is set up and running satisfactorily.
2. Inspect contents for shipping damage. Report
damage, if any, to your local distributor.
3. Compare contents of shipping carton with the
contents list in section 7.2 . Also check saw in
case any listed parts have been pre-installed.
Report shortages, if any, to your distributor.
4. Exposed surfaces have been coated with a
protectant. This can be removed with kerosene
or a cleaner-degreaser.
7.4 Installation and leveling
•
Tool: 12mm wrench
1. Remove two screws holding saw to pallet.
2. Carefully move saw to its final location. Final
location for the saw must be level, dry, well
lighted, and have enough room to allow
movement around the saw with long pieces of
wood stock.
3. Level the saw front to back and side to side
using a carpenter’s level placed on the table.
Use shims under the cabinet corners, if
necessary, but make sure saw is stable before
being placed into service.
7.5 Installing table extensions
•
Hardware: (9 each) 7/16” screws (HP1) , lock
washers (HP2) , flat washers (HP3) ; and (8
each) 5/16” screws (HP4) , lock washers (HP4) ,
flat washers (HP6) ; and (3) table extensions.
•
Tools: 17mm wrench, 12mm wrench, straight
edge, lift table or similar supporting device
1. Remove shipping bracket (A, Figure 3) from
table and switch. Keep the upper screw and
washers; they will be used to hold table
extension in place.
Figure 3
IMPORTANT: The tables must be aligned
carefully to allow smooth transition of rip fence
and workpieces over the seams.
2. Install the 10-inch table extension to left edge
of saw table with three screws, lock washers
and flat washers. Snug screws, but do not
tighten.
3. Slide extension toward front edge of saw table
until the two front edges are flush (D, Figure
4). This will ensure proper guide rail
installation.
Figure 4
4. Use a straight edge (C, Figure 4) to align
extension to saw table and tighten screws.
ASSEMBLY TIP: Align center section first and
tighten center screw almost completely. Then
place wood blocks at outer ends, spanning
main table and extension, and use clamps to
press blocks firmly against tables – this will
bring the outer ends of tables into alignment.
Tighten all three screws.
5. Identify the two 23-inch table extensions: the
inner table extension has holes or slots on all
four edges; the outer table extension has one
blank edge and threaded holes underneath for
leg attachment.
The table extensions are
heavy! Exercise caution and use assistants or a
support device to hold the extensions while
assembling.
6. Install inner table extension (E, Figure 5), with
slots toward saw, with three screws and
washers.
7. Follow steps 3 and 4 above. Continue
supporting inner table extension until outer
extension is installed.
8. Install legs (F) beneath outer table extension
(G) with eight screws and washers.
9. Install outer table extension to edge of inner
extension using steps 3 and 4. Rotate leveling
feet on legs as needed.
