Securing Wood Table to Back Rail
Referring to Figure 11:
1. Insert six hex head screws (E) and flat
washers (F) through the back rail and
wooden extension table and secure with six
flat washers (F), lock washers (G) and hex
nuts (H). Finger-tighten only at this time.
2. Re-check the table for alignment along the
front and back rails. Make further
adjustments if necessary, then tighten all
screws and nuts.
Installing the Guide Tube
1. The guide tube mounts to the front rail with
the scale facing toward the operator (Figure
12). Align the holes in the bottom of the
guide tube with the holes in the front rail.
When properly positioned the guide tube
should extend beyond the front rail about 6"
in both directions.
2. Fasten the guide tube to the rail from
beneath, with eight 1/4-20 x 3/4 hex cap
screws and eight 1/4 lock washers (Figure
13). Finger-tighten only.
3. The holes in the front rail are over-sized to
allow slight adjustment of the guide tube.
Pull the guide tube away from the rail as far
as it will go.
4. Measure the distance from edge of guide
tube to front rail; do this at both ends of the
guide tube to ensure that guide tube is
parallel to front rail. (The distance itself is
not important, but it should be the same
along the length of the guide tube.)
5. Tighten all screws with a 10mm wrench.
6. Insert a plastic end cap into the ends of the
guide tube. Use a rubber mallet if needed to
gently push in the caps.
