Craftsman 315.228310 - Manual (Page 20)

ASSEMBLY
■ Locate the table extensions and the small hardware
bag with the following:
8 hex bolts (5/16-18 X 1-1/4 in.)
8 hex nuts (5/16-18)
16 flat washers (5/16 in.)
WARNING: The table extensions not only
provide a support for large or wide pieces of
material, but help protect you. Serious injury
can result from workpiece binding or kickback
due to twisted rails or a misaligned rip fence.
■ With the saw upside down, align table extensions to
the saw table. Put a flat washer on each bolt, and
attach the extensions to the table by inserting bolts
through holes from the direction of the table.
■ Slip the remaining fiat washers and hex nuts on the
bolts. Lightly tighten with a 12 mm wrench.
ASSEMBLING TABLE EXTENSIONS

■ Get help to stand saw assembly upright using the
center saw table. Do not grasp saw by extensions.
WARNING; Do not lift the saw table without
help. Hold it close to your body. Keep your
knees bent and lift with your legs, not your back.
Ignoring these precautions can result in back
injury.
ALIGNING TABLE EXTENSIONS
See Figure 11.
A good alignment allows the rails to slide on easily.
■ Stand at the front of the saw and line up the front
edges of the table and extensions.
■ If adjustments are needed, put a block of wood
where the extension meets the table, and tap the
block of wood with a hammer. Check and repeat
until the front edges aré even.
■ Lift each extension slightly until it is higher than
table (if necessary, place a block below and tap
upward). Center the block of wood over the edges
and tap it. Recheck the front alignment. If even,
tighten the screws with a 12 mm wrench.
