1. Loosen the T-Handles at the front of the table, and under the ruler, table to allow notcher travel and rail width adjustment.
2. Loosen the white plastic guide discs on the four corners of the SnapTable PRO and move them inward on the slots until they
fit against your panel.
3. Position notchers across from each other at the "90" offset position (0 on the ruler degree indicator) with handles away
from operator. You will need to square your notchers prior to use (see note below for instructions).
4. With notchers in the open position, slide the panel onto the table and, using the wheel on the front of the table, adjust the
table width so that the panel ribs line up approximately with the notcher dies.
5. Make sure your male and female ribs coordinate with the notchers and that each panel rib fits snuggly in the notching dies.
To check this, lower the dies onto the panel until seated, but refrain from cutting through.
6. With both notchers settled over the panel ribs, lock the panel width adjustment by tightening the T-Handle at the front of
the table found on the right of the wheel.
7. Adjust the white guide rollers on the four corners of the SnapTable PRO inward toward the panel. Guide rollers should be
touching panel to keep it on track. Tighten the bolts.
8. Raise both notchers to the open position. The table is now correctly adjusted for your panel width and is ready to use.

NOTE:
Notchers are squared prior to shipping but will need to be checked prior to use. In order to square your notchers, you need to make sure that
the concentric on the carriages are tight against your notchers so the notchers cannot move inside the carriage. Once they are tightened you can
square your notchers by using a straight edge square. Once the notchers are squared, lock notchers in place and adjust ruler to zero out the notchers.
The male notcher is typically positioned on the ruler side of the table. The above exercise is crucial for proper handling of your table. NEVER force
notchers to cut. Try repeating the above adjustment procedures to assure correct alignment of the notcher does and panel rib.
