end panel flanges. Use the brackets as a drill guide,

centre punching the hole positions toward the top

of the slotted hole in the bracket. Drill 6.5mm or

⁄

" holes.

Fit the inner track to the Workcentre by locating

the coach bolt heads through the keyholes in the

end panel brackets. Make sure that the tabs on

the bottom of the support brackets engage into the

slots on the end panel brackets. Tighten the round

knobs and then temporarily tighten the four nyloc

nuts (24) holding the inner track to the brackets.

Aligning the Tracks on a Workcentre
STEP 12W
On Series 2000 Workcentres, push the legs

diagonally outwards to ensure it is fully stable.
Position the outer track parallel to the inner track

approximately 28" away from it. Place the table

onto the tracks with the inner (smaller) bearings on

the inner track. Always fit the table this way. Slide

the table to each end of its travel and adjust the

position of the outer track. The lengthened outer

bearings make this a non-critical adjustment.

STEP 13W
Next it will be necessary to fine-tune the height of

the inner track. Fit the extension table fence to the

sliding table and extend it across the Workcentre

table. Loosen the bolts and screws attaching the

end panel bracket, adjust the height of the brackets

until the bottom of the fence is around

⁄

" above

the Workcentre table, front and rear. Tighten the

bolts and Phillips screws holding the brackets to

the end panels.

STEP 14W
Next, adjust the height of the outer track until the

fence is level across the Workcentre table.
Check the sliding table throughout its travel for

diagonal rocking on the tracks, and fine tune the

height of the outer track if necessary. Adjust the

height stops on the outer track legs to lock-in the

correct height.
With the sliding table positioned midway along the

tracks, engage the front and rear locking latches

(Fig.10). Adjust the self-tapping screws on the

inner bearings until the heads enter the rectangular

windows and the table cannot be lifted. (It will be

necessary to unlock the latches and lift the table

clear to make these adjustments).

STEP 15W
The last step is to fine-tune the inner track position

in the horizontal plane, to ensure that the extension

table scales are accurate.

Series 2000 Workcentres: With the extension

table fitted and locked, and the rip fence removed,

insert the standard Workcentre rip fence and set it

to 16" using the end panel calibration marks. Prior

to sighting down the front face of the Workcentre

rip fence, loosen the four nyloc nuts on the inner

track support brackets. Adjust the inner track

sideways until both front and rear scales read

exactly 16”. Retighten the four nuts and remove the

Workcentre rip fence.
MK3 Workcentres: Extend the extension table

fence across the Workcentre until the tip is level

with the left-hand edge of the saw slot. Check for

parallel by sliding the extension table so that the

fence tip runs the length of the saw slot. Loosen

the four nyloc nuts on the inner track support

brackets and adjust the position of the track until

the fence tip aligns perfectly with the saw slot at

both ends of the table travel.
To ensure the correct scale reading, position the

extension table with the front scale level with

the front of the saw blade and measure from the

blade teeth to check the scale reading. Adjust the

position of the inner track if necessary until the

scales are accurate, ensuring the track is moved by

exactly the same amount at each end.
Finally, double check the parallel alignment and

scale accuracy by repeating the above steps, or by

making a test cut.
Your Sliding Extension Table is now fully assembled

and ready for use. Skip to the 'Operating' section.

FITTING TO A COMPACT SAW TABLE
STEP 10C
Loosely tighten the TCA/RSA Brackets (38) onto

the two inside brackets on the Inner Track using

the short Coach Bolts (40), Washers (13) and Nyloc

Nuts (24) with a 10mm spanner, as shown in Fig.

4. Note the orientation of the brackets in regard to

the long overhang of the inner track (marked "X"

in Fig. 8).
