ASSEMBLY
TABLE ASSEMBLY
1. Mount the table (Fig. 1) in place on the trunnion
with the assistance of another person. The table is
heavy! Do this from the rear of the machine, so that it
is easier to fit the pre-installed blade through the slot
in the table.
2. Attach the table to the trunnion with the four Hex
Socket Cap Screws, Spring Washers and Washers
(Parts #13B, 12B, 11B). Install two bolts to the right
of the blade, hand tightened only. Fig. 2. Then tip the
table to 45 degrees and install the two bolts to the left
of the blade. Fig. 3. DO NOT fully tighten the bolts at
this time. Return the table to the horizontal position.
NOTE: Before finally secured in position, the table can
be slightly moved, left and right. Check to make sure
that the table’s miter gauge slot is parallel to the side
of the saw blade. This will provide a true cut when
ripping stock. Set a thin metal ruler against the side
of the saw blade. Make sure that it is not touching
the saw’s teeth, which can angle the ruler. Measure
the distance from one end of the ruler to the miter
gauge slot. FIG. 4. Then measure the same distance
from the other end of the ruler to the miter gauge slot.
Compare these two measurements and angle the
table as necessary until the distances are the same.
3. Once the table is aligned parallel to blade, tighten
all four of the installed bolts to secure the table in
place.

Pin’s Lanyard (Part #5B) to
