IMPORTANT: Table is coated with a protectant. To ensure
proper fit and operation, remove coating. Coating is easily
removed with mild solvents, such as mineral spirits, and a soft
cloth. Avoid getting solution on paint or any of the rubber or
plastic parts. Solvents may deteriorate these finishes. Use
soap and water on paint, plastic or rubber components. After
cleaning, cover all exposed surfaces with a light coating of oil.
Paste wax is recommended for table top.
WARNING: Never use highly volatile solvents. Non flamma-
ble solvents are recommended to avoid possible fire hazard.
Refer to Figures 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10.
CAUTION: Do not attempt assembly if parts are missing.
Use this manual to order replacement parts.
Be certain all parts are clean and free of shipping preserva-
tive. Also, completely remove all parts of packing. Saw cabinet
should be directly on the floor.
