Place the miter gauge runner to the miter gauge slot, and apply a thin bead of glue to the top side. Position the rip fence '/: in away from 46

At ihe same time, glue and screw the end runner lo ihe base, flush with ihe saw table edge. Be sure to countersink for the screws so the heads don't protrude from the base's working surface. Now remove the base assembly and set il aside to dry. Don't forgei to wipe any excess glue squeeze-out from the assembly, and to clean up any glue that may have gotten on the saw
