Level the Rear Table Side

Level the rear table side by checking it against the front. Place the level to span the two table sides at
one end, and adjust the leveling feet on the back table side. Once this is level, move down to the next
set of legs.

TIP:

When checking a long span, a lon-

ger level will give a more accurate read-
ing. If possible, use a level that spans
the entire width of the table.

If this is not possible, place a shorter
level on top of a straightedge. What-
ever method used, make sure that the
straightedge is actually straight with
parallel sides.
