First, lay a soft towel down. Next, gently turn your
KNK upside down to expose the bottom panel.
Unscrew the screws along one side of the bottom
panel.

Next, slip one of the tables into place and put
the bottom screws back in. Once the screws
are tightened, turn the KNK back over, where
the cutter is facing up.

Insert 4 of the 8 screws that were packaged
inside the box with the tables. Be sure to keep
the four screws relatively loose until all four have
been inserted. Then tighten down but not too tight
or you will risk stripping the threads.

Repeat this for the other side of the KNK.
