To install the table insert, hold it at a slight angle,
with the lock-down lever rotated upwards and the
rear of the insert lower than the front (see Fig. 41).
Slide the rear of the insert around the spreader
or riving knife and against the back of the table
opening so that the heads of the rear lock-down
screws in the bottom of the insert slide under
the heads of the lock-down screws in the table
opening (see Fig. 42). Then, with the lock-down
lever rotated upwards, lower the front end of the
insert into the table opening until the insert lies fl at.
Finally, rotate the lock-down lever all the way down
so that it fi ts along the edge of the table insert. Be
certain that no part of the table insert extends up
beyond the table surface; it should be fl ush or just
below the table surface.

Saw Placement

Position the saw on a level surface away from sources of moisture and electrical noise. Make sure there is
suffi cient room to allow free access to all sides of the saw.

Table Insert Removal and Installation

Your saw is shipped with a high-quality, zero-clearance table insert. The insert is factory-adjusted to fi t securely
in the table opening and below the table surface. If you wish to perform additional adjustment on the insert,
see page 75 for instructions.

The rear of the table insert is held in place by two lock-down screws in the bottom rear of the insert and two
lock-down screws in the table opening. It is held down in the front by latches formed at the ends of a rotating
lock-down lever. The lock-down lever allows you to easily remove the insert without the use of tools.

Preparing Your Saw for Use

WARNING! Never operate the saw without the table insert in place.

CAUTION! Do not use table inserts with metal or other electrically-conductive parts that
could contact the blade. This can cause the brake to be activated unnecessarily.
