Figure 1a

2. Attach outside leg facades #21 and leg #20 to leg assembly using

four screws # 13. (See Figure 1b)

3. Attach beam #15 by using two bolts #40, four washers #50,

and two locknuts #49 for each leg #20. Place one
washer between the bolts and beam and one be­tween leg posts and locknuts. Tighten these

*

bolts securely. (See figure 2)

7. Place the frame in its final location. Square the base

frame assembly by measuring diagonally from the
corner of one beam to the opposite corner of the
other beam. (See Figure 4) Nudge the frame until
both diagonals are equal (within 1/16 inch).

8. Go back and tighten all loose screws, nuts and

bolts.

9. Place long slats #16 (50 inches long) and short slats #17 (36 inches long) across table

from beam to beam as shown in figure 5. Make sure to use the two shorter slats #17
on the ends of the beams and the two longer slats #16 in the center as shown. Insert
four dowel connectors #36 into the four holes in the side of each of the beams
#15 these holes should be closer to the top of the beams. Attach the slats
#16, and #17 to the wooden beams #15
by placing screws #18 through the slats
and into the dowel connectors #36 that are
in the beams #15 and tighten, make sure

not to over tighten them. (See figure 5).

HINT: When holes are lined up, the slot in

the dowel connector should be vertical.
After holes line up, insert screws #18
into slats and down into dowel
connectors. It is recommended
to start the screws by hand and
not forcing them with power tools
until you are sure threads are
engaged properly. Do not tighten
completely yet.

10. Square up the long slats #16 by measuring

diagonally, similar to the method used ear­lier to square up base frame. (See Figure 6)
After squaring up slats, tighten all the screws
holding slats #16 and #17 to the beams.

LEVELING BASE FRAME

11. Using a carpenter's level, level table as well as possible. It is easier to do it now rather than after the slatron is on frame. Determine

the highest corner of the frame. Raise other three corners to the level of the highest corner by shimming underneath legs using playing
card stock or grey chipboard stock (#47) shipped with this table. Cut this chipboard and place under 2 X 6 wooden leg posts (#20).

WARNING

THIS TABLE IS DESIGNED FOR USE WITH SLATRON

ONLY. DO NOT PUT A SLATE TOP ON THIS TABLE.

UNBOXING THE SLATRON

12. It is now time to unbox the slatron pieces. BE CAREFUL
NOT TO DAMAGE SLATRON INSIDE! SLATRON CAN
BE EASILY DAMAGED IF HIT OR PRIED AGAINST! (See
Figure 7)

If the edges of your Slatron has "fuzz" on it, lightly sand
to remove with sandpaper provided in kit.

IMPORTANT! The sheets of slatron
may not be completely flat when
removed from the shipping carton.
This is normal. Once they have been
placed on the table frame and se­curely fastened down, they will be­come straight and flat.
