Installation and Assembly
Tools required:
Arbor wrench (supplied)
12mm combination wrench (supplied)
3mm and 4mm hex wrenches (supplied)
8, 10, 14, 15, and 19 mm open-end wrenches
Cross point and flat head screwdrivers
Some assembly tips:
1. A bowl should be used to hold hardware.
2. To avoid harming the table saw top, a cloth
should be placed on the floor first.
3. Do not remove wax coating from table until
saw is assembled.
4. Start assembly in the area where saw will be
used. This area should be clean and tidy in
order to make it easy to find any dropped
fasteners and tools.
5. Unwrap only the hardware packages that
one is working on.
6. A mobile light should be used to illuminate
obscure areas.
7. The use of a ratchet wrench with sockets
and extensions will greatly reduce assembly
time.
Remove the protective coating from the saw
table surface with a soft cloth moistened with a
good commercial solvent. NOTE: Do not use
acetone, gasoline, or lacquer thinner to remove
the protective coating, as it can damage plastic
parts and painted areas. Do not use an abrasive
pad on the table top.
Stand Assembly
Note: Except for the rubber feet, only finger
tighten all nuts. Stand assembly nuts should be
fully tightened only after the saw has been
attached to the stand. If you are using a mobile
base, the stand should be tightened only after
placing the saw in the mobile base.
TIP: It may be easier to assemble stand in an
upside-down position. Illustrations are shown
right side-up for the purpose of clarity.
1. Assemble two leg sets using the long cross
braces attached to the inside of the legs.
The lower cross braces go into first set of
square holes located approximately center
of each leg. See Figure 6. [The bottom holes
on the legs are not used for this machine.]
Use (32) 5/16-18 x 5/8 carriage bolts, (32)
5/16 hex nuts, and (32) 5/16 flat washers to
assemble the stand.
