Completely remove all shipping crate materials from around the steel

shipping base before continuing to step 1.

CAUTION: Select a flat, hard area to assemble the table. Never assemble the table on a

soft surface such as dirt or gravel, or on any uneven or sloped surface.

1) Place supplied bottle jack under one side of table, approximately 6” from the inside corner

as pictured. Spin bottle jack head clockwise to lengthen the throw of the jack.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The bottle jack must be placed on a flat concrete slab. CAUTION:

Do not assemble the table on a soft surface such as gravel or an uneven hard surface.

2) Close the valve on the bottle jack clockwise with the provided handle.

3) Pump the jack handle, lifting the table no more than 1/8” off the ground.

4) Completely remove all six bolts connecting the base to the shipping leg with a 9/16” wrench.

B) IMPORTANT - Remove Shipping Bases and INSTALL

PERMANENT BASES ONE AT A TIME. CAUTION: Removing both

bases at the same time can cause the table to tip, resulting in

possible injury.

1/8”

Use Caution during steps 5-7. Never allow your hands or feet to be under any part of the

table during these steps

5) Check to ensure the shipping base is clear of the table leg. Carefully remove the base.

6) Carefully slide the permanent base into its approximate position.

7) SLOWLY open the valve on the bottle jack and lower the table leg 1/16” above permanent base.

8) Start all six screws and lock washers to ensure proper alignment. Lower the leg the rest of the way

onto the table as pictured in step 7.

9) Tighten all six bolts with a 9/16” wrench. Ensure sufficient force is used but do not over tighten.

1/16”

YOU’RE HALFWAY THERE! You’re now ready to install the second base by repeating

steps 1-9. Once the second leg base is permanently installed continue to step 10.

10) Check all four feet to ensured they’re firm against the con-

crete slab. If any are high, spin the steel bolt down and

tighten the lock nut against the base

Congratulations! Assembly is now complete. Please read

and follow the directions below for proper table use.

1) IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE—Clip

Counter-Tension Cords in place before the ta-

ble is used under load.

The AccuGlide EzTilt Table is equipped with

four Counter-Tension Cords designed to bal-

ance the table while under load. CAUTION:

NEVER OPERATE THE TABLE WITHOUT THE

COUNTER-TENSION CORDS IN PLACE.

Always keep at least one Red Counter-Tension

Cord clipped in place when operating the table

dry or without load.

EzTilt Table Instructions and Guidelines

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT COUNTER-TENSION CORDS: Always store the EzTilt

Table in the vertical position. Whenever possible, at the end of the day, offload any stone

on the table and tilt the table back to the upright position. Leaving the table in the horizontal

position for more than a day will weaken the Counter-Tension Cords and limit their counter

balancing ability.

Two Replacement Counter-Tension Cords have been shipped with your EzTilt Package. We recom-

mend replacing the two center Cords eighteen months after the initial purchase. Under

normal use, replacement of the two center Counter-Tension Cords is recommended every eighteen

months following the first replacement or upon your maintenance evaluation if needed any sooner.

Replacement Cords can be purchased from AccuGlide Saws.

CAUTION: Regularly Inspect Counter-Tension Cords. If any defect from original condition is

found, immediately discontinue use of the table until replacement cords are acquired from AccuGlide.

2) After tilting the table to the horizontal position pull the lock pin and flip the Center Leg to the

down position.

3) Release the handle from the lanyard and crank the handle clockwise until

the table bottoms out on the leg posts (Fig. A).

CAUTION: DO NOT OVER CRANK HANDLE. Doing so will lift the table

off the ground, placing improper stresses on the frame and may cause

the table to rock.

CAUTION: NEVER WORK ON THE TABLE IN THE HORIZONTAL

POSITION WITHOUT THE CENTER LEG FLIPED DOWN AND SECURED.

4) IMPORTANT NOTE: When you’re ready to tilt

the table back to the upright position, make

sure the leg is sufficiently retracted. Crank

the handle at least twenty times from the ex-

tended position.

CAUTION: If the leg is not retracted properly

it will hit the base and prevent the table from

reaching its full upright position. (Fig. C)

Secure handle before tilting

5) When you’re ready to tilt the table back to the upright position, pull the lock pin and rotate the

Flip Down Leg up until the pin re-locks the leg in the horizontal position.

6) IMPORTANT NOTE: Before tilting the table, make sure to secure the crank handle with the

chain lanyard. DO NOT TILT THE TABLE WITH THE HANDLE LOOSE. Doing so will damage the

handle and prevent the table from reaching its full upright position.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE:

If any malfunction in the Vertical Latch

(pictured right) is detected, discontinue use of the table and contact

AccuGlide Saws immediately. Never load or operate the table without

the latch fully operational. After tilting the table to the upright position

and the lock pin has snapped in place, always confirm the table is

solidly locked in position by giving the handle a quick pull.

Safety Strap Arm and Slab Keepers: After tilting the table to the horizontal position the Safety

Strap Arm can be flipped out of the way to keep the table clear for cutting and unloading. Pull the

lock knob and rotate the arm counterclockwise until it snaps into its horizontal position. The Safety

Strap can be stored out of the way by clipping the strap end onto the eye bolt on the right front cor-

ner of the table (Fig. B). CAUTION: Make sure to flip the Safety Strap Arm to the up position be-

fore loading a slab. NEVER REACH UNDER A SLAB TO FLIP THE SAFETY STRAP ARM TO THE

UP POSITION. The Slab Keepers (Fig. C) can also be removed while cutting on the table top. Keep

the tube that the Slab Keepers insert into, clean and without obstructions. CAUTION: The Slab

Keepers must be fully inserted into the receiver tub before loading the slab.

Tabletop Maintenance

Maintaining the EzTilt Tabletop will allow many years of trouble

free cutting without replacement of the top. Maintenance is easy

and requires very little time compared to top replacement.

Some areas of the table will be used heavily and as a result will

break down much quicker than the rest of the table. The key is

to fill these areas before the structure of concrete slats are compromised and more extensive

resurfacing is needed.

When needed, at the end of the day, wash off the table and trowel into the cut groves on the

cement top with grey sanded thin set (mixed with 100% acrylic additive). The next morning,

quickly strike off any excess or high spots with a cinderblock or brick.

If the table is used heavily, filling the groves should be scheduled monthly. Under more moder-

ate usage you may only need to fill the table a few times a year.

Do not hesitate to cut into the table in an effort to reduce your maintenance on the table top.

Cutting 1/8” into the top is recommended and will properly dress the diamond blade, promoting

maximum production. On more abrasive stones, cutting into the table alone will be sufficient for

blade dressing. Hard non-abrasive granites will require supplemental dressing with a dressing

stone or cinder block. Refer to the AccuGlide directions for guidelines on proper diamond

blade dressing.

Fill cuts with Grey

sanded thin-set

MAINTANENCE NOTE: The two center pivot bearings will

require limited maintenance for maximum performance. Using a

grease gun, insert grease into the four grease zerks every six

months. When performing this maintenance, continue inserting

grease until you see the old grease pushed out from each end of

the bearing. Wipe off excess grease with a rag.

RETURN SHIPPING BASES TO ACCUGLIDE SAWS

Please place the four steel shipping bases inside this crate along with the nuts, bolts, washers

and bottle jack. Secure the lid with the provided screws or hardware. We will contact you for a

ready time and schedule a shipping truck to pick up the crate at a designated address. If the

crate shipping bases are not ready for return after three attempts or not returned

by the customer within 30 days from the invoice date, the value of the bases and

crate will be billed at 500.00, to the original purchaser.
