Installing the Back Rail
1. Locate the back rail which is 2" x 2" with
holes running along one side only. The
height of the back rail when attached to the
saw is not critical, but it should be parallel to
the table top.
2. Position the back rail approximately 9/16"
below the surface of the table top, with the
ends even with those of the front rail
(Figure 27). Hold the back rail to the saw
with clamps.
3. Drill 5/16" holes into the lip of the saw table
using the holes in the back rail as a guide
(see Figure 28).
Referring to Figure 29 :
4. Insert hex cap screws (A) and flat washers
(B) through the back rail and saw table and
secure with flat washers (B), lock washers
(C) and hex nuts (D). Finger-tighten only at
this time.
The rest of the installation is the same as with a
Powermatic table saw. Refer back to page 6 to
mount the optional wood extension table (if
applicable) and the guide tube on page 8, and
proceed from there.
