table.
2. Unlock both front and rear cam locking levers (1) on
the right hand side of the saw base by flipping the
lever over.
3. insert the table extension mounting tubes (2) into the
two matching holes in the cam lever assemblies.
NOTE: Make sure the front mounting tube has the
measuring scale visible from the front of the saw.
4. Slide the table extension toward the table until it rests
against the saw table.
5. Lock both cam locking levers by pushing them in
toward the cam locking lever assemblies.
6. If the extension is not level to the table, adjust by
inserting the spacers (Carton Contents X) between
the extension and the tube it mounts onto. See page
