  • You may have to remove limit switches.
  • Remove the adjusting bolts from both ends of the gib - slide the gib out to the right - mark the end and orientation before it is completely out.
  • Support the table with bolts in T-slots (make sure they can't move horizontally). An engine sling and hoist works well to support the table evenly as you slide it out.
