6. Fasten the front (F) and rear table (G) supports Fig. 10, to the bottom of the table as shown using four #8x7/8" long wood screws (H) supplied. (Pilot holes can be drilled in the particle using a 1/16" drill bit, drilling 1/2" deep, to help attaching the front and rear table supports.) NOTE: At this time, the screws (H) holding the front support (F) should not be completely tightened. NOTE: The slots closer to the angles in the supports (F) and (G) should be against the table.

NOTE: Do not put fasteners in location (I) at this time. NOTE: Make certain the ends of the table supports do

not extend out past the table. The rear support (G) Fig. 10, can be fastened to the bottom of the table by tightening screws (H).

CAUTION: DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN MOUNTING SCREWS. Over-tightening screws in particle board may

cause them to strip.
