2. Loosen the screw on top of each locking clamp.
3. Lift the locking clamp to the Up position.
4. Push the clamp forward tight against the front rail to bring
the clamp into alignment.

nut inside the rails may need adjusting.

2. Remove the front and rear rails by loosening the rail
clamps and sliding the rails off.
3. Rotate each rail clamp to the left until it hits or comes in
contact with the bottom of the saw table.
4. Tighten rail holder nut until it is snug.

6. Replace the rails and check the rail clamps.

causing the accessory table to be loose on the rails. Follow
the steps below, when adjustments are required:
1. Remove the hex nut on the lever using a 3/8 in. nut driver.
2. Remove the back-up plate and spring plate. Rotate the
spring plate 180
