62. The worktable should already be mounted
in the carriage mount. Move the worktable
next to the extension table and adjust it to
about 1/4" above the extension table, as
seen in Figure B-100.
ALIGN THE EXTENSION TABLE
NOTE
These instructions are for aligning the extension
table on the right side of the headstock. You can
also follow these same procedures to align it to the
left side of the headstock.
For most projects, align the extension table on the
right side, since it can usually be used when placed
on the left side. However, once the extension table
is aligned on the right side, it cannot be transferred
to the left side and still maintain precise alignment.
If you wish precise alignment on the left side, repeat
the following instructions– but place the extension
table on the left side in the headstock.
61. Mount the extension table in the Mark V's
accessory base mount (on the right side) at a
comfortable height, as shown in Figure B-
99. Use a 1/2" wrench to loosen the bottom
nuts holding the table base to the table ap-
proximately 1/4" from the table. This will
allow you room for later adjustment.

66. Loosen the guard
lock knob and in-
sert the upper saw
guard's riving
knife between the
guard and the lock
plate, as demon-
strated in Figure B-
108.
67. Make sure the riving knife is fully seated
between the guard and the lock plate, as in
Figure B-109. The curved portion of the
riving knife should be very close to the saw
blade teeth (about 1/8"), as illustrated in
Figure B-110. Tighten the guard lock knob.
Look to see if the riving knife is centered
with the saw blade, as shown in Figure B-
111.
64. Fit the lower saw guard's clamp on the spindle
quill. Line up the arbor set screw with the
spindle knob's set screw (where the spindle
flat is located). Use a 5/32" Allen wrench to
tighten the arbor set screw, as shown in
Figure B-106.
