Step 1

Unpack all of the Framing Table components and remove them from the pallet. Carefully lay the components out on the fl oor and make sure you have everything needed to begin the assembly process.

Tools Required for Installation: Flat screwdriver, 1/2” socket and wrench and a 1/4” hex wrench.

Step 2

Lay clamping table face down on a fl at surface. See fi gure 1.

Figure 1

Hex Bolts

Lay table surface fl at.

Step 3

Remove the four hex bolts from the back of the table frame to prepare it for attaching the legs.

Step 4

Place the legs in position so that the adjustable feet are pointing towards the bottom fence. Place hex bolts through frame legs, tighten securely as shown in fi gure 2.

Operating Instructions - Clamping Cylinders 6.

Clamping Cylinders

Each of the four clamping cylinders included with this framing table throw over 400 lbs. per square inch of pressure on the joint line. Each clamping cylinder can be moved independently of every other cylinder by simply sliding it up and down the transfer arm. A toggle switch is located on the top of each cylinder assembly that controls air fl ow to that particular cylinder. Each cylinder can then be turned on or off independently of the other cylinders. In addition, a master switch is located at the bottom of the transfer arm that has the ability to control all of the cylinders at one time (if they are in the “on” position).

To Clamp and Join a Frame:

1) Place workpiece into alignment with squaring fence

2) Adjust clamp pad so that it is directly over the joint line

3) Throw cylinders independently or all at once with the master switch

4) Drive screws and repeat process ing

Operating Instructions - Squaring the Fence

Squaring the Fence

The squaring fence serves as a general reference to keep your workpieces aligned prior to assembly. It comes calibrated from the factory with a basic carpenters square. It should be noted that the most important aspect of making sure your frames turn out square and fl ush is by assuring that your workpieces are cut square and true prior to assembly. Simply put, if your workpieces are not square prior to assembly, your frame will not be square once assembled. The squaring fence features set screws that allow it to be easily re-calibrated if knocked out of alignment.

To re-align squaring fence:

1) Place carpenter’s square on base of table

2) Loosen locking nuts

3) Adjust allen screw inward or outward to re-square fence

4) Re-tighten locking nut

Figure 2

Loosen locking nuts with hex wrench, and adjust the set screws with an allen wrench to square fence.

Operating Instructions - Retracting the Fence 8.

Retracting the Fence

In addition, the squaring fence retracts below the table surface for use when joining large frames. This allows the frame to be moved down beyond the left-hand side of the table so that assembly can continue down the right-hand side of the table on extremely large frames.

To retract fence for large frames:

1) Loosen locking knobs on side of fence

2) Lift fence up and down to move out of the way

3) Slide frame over the edge as needed

Operating Instructions - Optional Screw Gun & Hose

Optional Screw Gun

This table can accommodate an optional pneumatic screw gun for use in assembling frames (Kreg part number

CT6030). An air regulator on the top of the transfer arm regulates the amount of air that is supplied to the screw gun.

We recommend that you adjust the pressure to a level that causes the screw gun to stall out when the screw has been seated completely. To adjust, simply turn the regulator and run the gun to reach the desired setting. We fi nd that a setting around 60 psi works well for driving screws into oak with the CT6030 screwgun.

Regulator controls amount of air pressure to the screw gun.

Optional Polyurethane Coil Hose

This polyurethane coil hose (Kreg part number CT6023) is a great complement to our Screw Gun. It is 8’ long, plenty of length to reach across the table and has brass 1/4” NPT fi ttings on both ends.

Fitting where screw gun is connected to the table.

Maintenance

Table Surface –

The slick melamine coating of the table surface cleans up well from glue. If you’d like to make the table even more “glue-proof” we recommend coating the surface with Bates Glue Release

(1-888-363-2628) or Empire Top Saver (1-866-700-5823).

Replacing the table surface can also be completed relatively easily. Just remove 1” wood screws (11 total) from the mounting holes found on the backside of the frame as shown in fi gure 2.

We suggest you shim up the bottom of the new table surface slightly before reapplying to allow wood chips to fall out of the way.

Optional Screw Gun –

As with any pneumatic tool, you’ll want to add air tool oil to the gun periodically to keep it operating its best.
