Loosen the four nyloc nuts on the inner track support
brackets and adjust the inner track sideways until both
front and rear scales read exactly 500mm, when sighting
down the front face of the Workcentre rip fence. Tighten
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.
Using the Hold-Down Clamps
When cutting large or awkward pieces in any of the
Sliding Table modes, you should secure your workpiece
using the hold-down clamps.
Swing the fence
clamps around until
the hold-down feet
0verhang the
workpiece. With the
fence locked, lower
the feet until they
press firmly on the
workpiece by
spinning the thumb
wheels clockwise (Fig. 8).
Attaching Fixtures to the Fence
Two additional flange nuts have been provided in Fastener
Bag 1 for attaching fixtures or sub-fences to the rip fence.
Rotate the fence clamps so the rear is level with the
front face of the rip fence. Insert the flange nuts into the
slots (Fig. 9) and attach your fixture using M6 bolts (not
supplied).

OPERATING - Table Locked
Lock the table using the front and rear locking latches and
fit the rip fence (Fig. 10). Set your
width by sighting the scales down the front
face of the fence.
Ensure the fence is always set parallel to the blade.
Turn the hold-down clamps around so they don't overhang
the workpiece.
Ensure that the overhead guard is lowered onto the
workpiece. Press the sheet against the fence at all times.
When ripping large sheets, the plastic skids at the ends
of the inner track will provide additional support. For very
large workpieces the Triton Multi-stands, (Fig.11) are
better suited, otherwise have someone assist you.
When ripping thin workpieces you may need to fit an edge
support (Inset - Fig. 11) against the rip fence, to prevent
the corner of the workpiece from dipping into the table
openings.
MK3 Workcentres: to rip in the 260mm - 380mm range,
clamp a 1200mm long x 200mm wide packer to the
extension table fence, using the hold-down clamps. When
setting the desired width, remember to add 200mm.
