WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to lter
out microscopic particles.

when sliding along extension rails.
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

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 at 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 gure 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.

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.
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 ush 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 oor is not perfectly level. This option
requires cutting a slot in top of table legs as shown in gure 8.

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 difcult procedure.

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.
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.
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 gure 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.

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.
