Slide one of the T-nuts into bottom channel of front rail on your saw. Slide a second T-nut into back channel of front rail. Attach one of the connectors provided to T-nut on bottom of front rail and secure with a washer (5/16 in.) and a hex bolt (5/16-18-x 1/2 in.). Finger tighten only. Orient front extension rail so that it matches front rail of your saw. Place two T-nuts in matching channels of front extension rail. Connect bottom T-nut to connector on front rail of your saw and secure with a washer (5/16 in.) and a hex bolt (5/16 in. x 1/2 in.). Finger tighten only. Attach a second connector to back channel of front rail and front extension rail. Secure it to each T-nut with a washer (5/16 in.) and hex bolt (5/16 in. x 1/2 in.). Finger tighten only. FRONT EXTENSION RAIL T-NUT CONNECTOR WASHER TABLE BRACKET HEX BOLT TO ATTACH REAR EXTENSION RAIL See Figure 3 and 5. The rear extension rail attaches to rear rail on your BT3100/ BT3100-1 table saw by repeating the above procedure for attaching front extension rail. The only difference being the rear rail has a different configuration. See Figure 3. NOTE: There are several repetitive steps required for assembling this kit. Please study and review illustrations closely for clarification when asked to repeat a procedure. After attaching rear rail extension to your saw you should now have the front and rear extension rails attached to your saw using four connectors, eight T-nuts, eight washers (5/16 in.), and eight hex bolts (5/16 in. x 1/2 in.). Using a 1/2 in. socket or the small wrench supplied with your table saw, tighten all eight bolts securely. Assure the two rail sets are straight before, during and after tightening. T-NUT CONNECTOR WASHER HEX BOLT FRONT RAILS SHOWN ATTACHED Fig. 2 REAR EXTENSION RAIL TABLE BRACKET SPACER REAR RAILS SHOWN ATTACHED Fig. 3 5 ASSEMBLY TO ATTACH TABLE BRACKETS Slide two T-nuts into channel on rear portion of front extension rail. See Figures 2 and 4. Attach two table brackets and secure with washers (5/16 in.) and hex bolts (5/16 in. x 1/2 in.) supplied. Hand tighten only. Slide two T-nuts into channel on front portion of rear extension rail. See Figures 3 and 5. Place a spacer between table brackets and T-nuts on rear extension rail as shown in figure 5. Secure table brackets and spacers with two washers (5/16 in.) and two hex bolts (5/16 in. x 5/8 in.) supplied. Hand tighten only. NOTE: These bolts are longer to accomodate spacers. Spacers are needed to provide clearance for the rip fence when sliding along extension rails. SPACER END CAP FRONT EXTENSION RAIL TABLE BRACKET T-NUT WASHER HEX BOLT Fig. 4 REAR EXTENSION RAIL AUXILIARY TABLE TOP (not supplied) We suggest you make the auxiliary table top from a piece of plywood cut 22 in. wide by 44 in. long by 3/4 in. thick. Space table brackets on each of the four corners so that they are approximately 6 in. from the ends of extension rails. See Figures 4 and 5. Place table top in desired position on table brackets and adjust table brackets as needed. NOTE: End of table top closest to saw will rest on lip of accessory table. See Figure 6. Tighten the four table bracket bolts securely. Slide rip fence the entire length of extension rails to make sure it will clear your new extension table. Make adjustments as needed for clearance and smooth operation of rip fence. Cut a piece of 2 x 4 approximately 19 in. long and secure to bottom of table top with wood screws. See Figure 8. NOTE: Use flat head wood screws (not included) if attaching this piece thru table top. Make sure these screw heads are below the surface of table top. We suggest you mount it from underneath table top if possible. This piece should also be located close to the end of your table top. We suggest that you turn it on its edge as shown in figure 8. NOTE: Table legs will be secured to this piece of wood. Reposition table top on table brackets and secure with wood screws (#10 x 5/8 in.) provided. See Figure 7. NOTE: These screws mount from underneath table top. AUXILIARY TABLE TOP TABLE BRACKET LIP Fig. 6 ACCESSORY TABLE WASHER HEX BOLT TABLE BRACKET T-NUT END CAP Fig. 5 AUXILIARY TABLE TOP (22 in. X 44 in. X 3/4 in.) WOOD SCREW Fig. 7 6 ASSEMBLY TABLE LEGS (not supplied) See Figure 8. Table legs can be made from either 2 x 4s or by purchasing a Ryobi Leg Set, #4730305, depending upon the application in which your saw is being used. For example, if your saw is being used in a permanent application you may want to use 2 x 4s which will be more sturdy and provide extra stability. The metal leg set may be preferable for portable applications or when moving your saw around in a workshop. AUXILIARY TABLE TOP 19 in. 2 X 4 TABLE LEGS MADE FROM 2 X 4s Option #1 Cut two 2 x 4 legs the exact length required to support extension table. Make sure ends are cut perfectly square for better stability. Place legs flush against bottom of table top and against 19 in. 2 x 4 attached to bottom of table top. See Figure 8. Secure table legs to table top with wood screws or bolts, washers, and hex nuts (not included). If extra bracing is needed, cut a scrap piece of wood and attach to bottom of table legs. See Figure 9. Option #2 Option #2 will allow table legs to be adjusted to the proper height when your saw is used in portable applications, or in situations where the floor is not perfectly level. This option requires cutting a slot in top of table legs as shown in figure 8. TABLE LEG WOOD SCREWS (NOT INCLUDED) TABLE LEG OPTION # 1 TABLE LEG OPTION # 2 TABLE LEG OPTION # 3 ADDITIONAL TABLE LEG OPTIONS Additional options are also available for making table legs: Option #3 If desired, table brackets can also be used for leg brackets. This option would eliminate the necessity of cutting slots in top of table legs for height adjustments. NOTE: Additional table brackets are available and may also be purchased. Table brackets can be mounted upside down on table legs and secured to extension rails. Using the appropriate bolts, washers, and T-nuts will permit slots in table brackets to then be used for making height adjustments. See Figure 8. Option #4 It is also possible to turn legs 90° from the way we have shown and attach to each end of the 19 in. 2 x 4 under table top. This option attaches similar to the way we have described above, however, because of very close dimensions, it is a more difficult procedure. OPTIONAL BRACE TABLE LEGS SHOWN ATTACHED TO AUXILIARY TABLE TOP Fig. 8 Fig. 9 7 ASSEMBLY This kit also includes brackets and connecting hardware for making an extension table behind the blade to provide support and control when ripping large panels. The size of this table should be made according to application requirements and individual preferences. REAR EXTENSION RAIL TO ATTACH TABLE BRACKETS See Figure 10. Insert the (four) square head bolts (1/4-20 x 1/2 in.) into slot in back of rear rail of your table saw and rear extension rail. Space bolts along rails as needed to accomodate rear extension table. Attach remaining four table brackets to rails and secure with washers (1/4 in.) and hex nuts (1/4 in.) provided. Hand tighten hex nuts. SQUARE HEAD BOLT WASHER HEX NUT TABLE BRACKET REAR EXTENSION TABLE TOP (not supplied) See Figure 11. We suggest you cut a piece of plywood 82 in. long by 3/4 in. thick. As previously mentioned the width should be determined according to application requirements and individual preferences. Two slots should be cut in the plywood as shown in figure 11. These slots will permit sliding miter table to continue to be used as it was designed. Slots must be cut large enough to permit full travel of sliding miter table, so as not to lose its versatility. Place rear extension table top in desired position on table brackets and adjust table brackets as needed. Tighten the (four) hex nuts securely. Secure rear extension table top with wood screws (#10 x 5/8 in.) provided. See Figure 8. NOTE: These screws mount from underneath table top the same way auxiliary table top mounts to table brackets. SLIDING MITER TABLE AUXILIARY EXTENSION TABLE Fig. 10 REAR EXTENSION TABLE TABLE LEGS (not supplied) See Figure 8. Table legs (four) for the rear extension table should be constructed. Construct them similar to methods explained for making table legs for auxiliary extension table. Either 2 x 4s or Ryobi Leg Set, # 4730305 can be used. A piece of 2 x 4 for securing table legs would need to be mounted on bottom of rear extension table. It should be located close to the end of rear extension table. If extra bracing is needed, cut pieces of scrap wood and attach to bottom of table legs. See Figure 11.
