- LEG ASSEMBLY:
a) Assemble the adjustable foot (#1) to
the leg upright (#2) using the 1/2"
bolt, nut, washer and channel assembly
(#A)
b) Assemble the top rail (#6) and the
bottom rail (#3) to the leg upright (#2)
using the 5/16" bolt, nut and washer
assembly (#B)
c) In case of a 78" wide table, install
the center leg to the top and bottom rail.
- APRON ASSEMBLY:
a) Assemble the aprons (#7) to the leg
assembly using the 5/16" nut, bolt
and washer assembly.
- BRACE ASSEMBLY:
a) Install angle bracees (#4) and straight
braces (#5) to the frame using the 5/16"
bolt, nut and washer assembly.
- END ASSEMBLY:
a) Assemble both ends of the table using
the left (#8) and the right (#8) end aprons,
the end rail (#9) and the left (#10) and
right (#10) end braces.
- LEVEL THE TABLE:
a) Adjust the end sections to the desired
height, usually 35 1/2".
b) Run a plumb line between the two ends
along the top rail (#6) using a tape measure
for the near side and a level for the
far side and adjust all other legs to
the same height.
- INSTALLATION OF TABLE TOPS:
a) Place all panels into the hand tightened
frame assembly starting at the center.
b) Insert biscuits (#11) into precut slots
between panels.
c) When all panels are in place, tighten
the center panel first by using the 3/4"
wood screws along the apron (#7). When
all the panels are secured along the aprons,
use the 3/4" wood screws to anchor
the panels across the top rail (#6). Use
shims in order to ensure even height.
- FINISHING:
a) Tighten the entire frame now, using
a level to make sure that the leg uprights
are straight.
b) If desired, use plastic wood to fill
any cracks and smooth the resulting areas
with sand paper.
c) Check the entire frame carefully and
smooth any sharp corners with a file.
