1. Introduction
Model ST-1500 sliding table attachment can be
easily installed on most table saws to greatly
increase crosscutting capabilities.
This attachment for your table saw features a
telescopic crosscutting fence with an adjustable
flip stop for repetitive cuts, and an industrial-grade
sliding table with a linear guide mechanism for
extremely accurate cuts.
Using the extension fence, you can crosscut work
pieces up to 59” (1500mm), the conveniently
positioned fence can also be rotated 60° left or
right by using the built-in miter gauge.
The Model ST-1500 can be installed on a wide
range of table saw brands and sizes.
Main Fit Model:
------110LG (C300), 110S, 110LC (C200)
------ICS, PCS,CNS (For CNS model, this manual
does not provide installation instructions.
------ G0690, G0691, G0899
------ W1819, W1820, W1824
IMPORTANT NOTICE!

3. Safety for Sliding Table Saws
This attachment is installed on the table saw
for use, special attention should be paid to the
following safety precautions:
1. Kickback happens when the workpiece is
thrown back toward the operator at a high speed.
Until you have a clear understanding of kickback,
including how it occurs, and how to prevent it, DO
NOT operate the table saw with this sliding table
attachment!
2. To prevent flying metal debris causing serious
injuries, always make sure the sliding table
crosscut fence does not contact with the blade
before starting the table saw.
3. If the workpiece should unexpectedly move and
bind with the blade, kickback could occur. Always
make sure the workpiece is placed in a stable
position on the tables and is either supported by
the rip fence or the crosscut fence during cutting
operations.
4. If kickback occurs, the workpiece will be
ejected in a path that is in-line with the blade.
Never have any parts of your body in-line with the
cutting path of the blade during operations.
5. Avoid awkward body and hand positions where
a sudden slip could cause your hands to move
into the spinning blade.
6. To prevent your hands or arms accidentally
contacting with the spinning blade, never reach
behind or over the blade during cutting
operations.
7. When using the rip fence as a stop block for the
crosscut fence, the rip fence must be in front of
the blade. Otherwise, the workpiece could bind
against the rip fence and kickback could occur.
8. To avoid accidental contact with the spinning
blade, always turn the saw OFF and wait until the
blade has completely stopped before removing
any parts of the workpiece from the table.

7. Modifying Your Table Saw
Before mounting the Sliding Table, you may need
to modify your table saw. Some of the steps below
involve removing/installing your rails and
extension wing. For those steps please refer to
your table saw manual.
WARNING:
Disconnect your table saw from electrical power
before beginning any modifications.
For safe and effective use, the sliding table must
be attached to the left side of the main table, and
in a way that the sliding table top is slightly higher
than the table saw top in the full length.
Modifying Your Table Saw as Next Steps:
1. Disconnect the table saw from power!
2. The sliding table must be attached to the left
side of the main table in a way that the sliding
table top is 0.010"–0.020" higher than the top of
the table saw so that work pieces will not be
dragged.
----if you have a wing attached to the left side of
the saw table, remove it.
----if you do not have a wing attached to the left
side of the table or do not have the correct
mounting holes for the sliding table, you need to
drill and tap three M8-1.25 holes into the saw
table to match the sliding table (see Fig.6).
Fig.6
Tip: Use the side of the sliding table to make a
template for marking the mounting hole
locations on the saw table.
3. If the fence rails on your saw prevent the
installation of the Model, please proceed as
following methods:
Method 1: Remove the left extension wing,
reattach the guide tube by removing it and moving
it to right. The front and rear guide rail do not
require any movement. (Note: This method is only
applicable to Harvey’s ALPHA series table saws .)
Method 2: Find the seam between the table and
the left extension wing (or the left edge of the
table if the wing is not installed). Mark the front rail,
rear rail and main tube at 1/4” to the right of the
seam (or edge). Cut off the ends of the rails as
Fig.7 (this is the easiest and fastest option).
Method 3: Remove the rails, move to the right,
then re-mount the rails, which may also require
you to drill (and possibly tap) new holes in your
table and cut small notches into your rails for
access to T-slots in your saw’s table, see Fig.8.
Fig.7
Fig.8
4. If the power switch on your saw is mounted on
the left as Fig.7, you may need to re-mount it to
the bottom of the sliding table or other location.
Mounting holes are reserved at the bottom of the
sliding table to meet the installation requirements
of the table saws listed in this manual.

8. Assembly
After the modification of your table saw, follow
next steps to install the Model ST-1500:
1. Thread the foot pad assemblies into the
bottom of the support legs, as shown in Fig 9.For
now, do not tighten the jam nuts up to the legs so
that you can adjust the height of the legs in a later
step.
2. Turn the sliding table upside down, slide the
support leg T-Bolts into the sliding table T-slot
(Fig.10), then hand-tighten the legs clockwise to
secure them in place.
Note: For the best support, position the
support legs near the ends of the sliding table,
as shown in Fig10.
Fig.9
Fig.10
3. With the help of at least one other person to
support the weight, turn the sliding table assembly
over, and position it against the left side of the
saw table.
4. Pull out the locking knob underneath the
sliding table, then slide the top part to one side to
expose two of the mounting holes, as shown in
Fig.11.
Fig.11
5. Referring to Fig. 4, confirm the right mounting
holes for your table saw. Align the mounting holes,
then thread two cap screws, lock washers, and
flat washers through the sliding table into the
mounting holes of the saw table side.
6. Slide the table surface in the opposite direction
and install the remaining cap screw, lock washer,
and flat washer.
Note: For different types of table saw, there
are differences in the specification and
quantity of hardware, please refer to Chapter 5:
Inventory
7. Adjust the foot pads on the bottom of the legs
to fully support the sliding table, then tighten
them.
Note: Use the precision straightedge to make
sure the table top is parallel with the sliding
table top as you adjust the height of the legs.
8. If the sliding table does not travel exactly
parallel to the saw blade, the workpiece could
bind and kickback toward the operator, causing
serious personal injury. You MUST make sure
that the sliding table travels parallel with the saw
blade before any operation to avoid kickback
injuries. You can shim or post crepe paper on the
side of the table as shown in Fig.12 to adjust the
parallelism (≤0.1 mm).
Fig.12

9. Insert the T-nuts of the extension table into the
T-slot on the outside edge of the sliding table,
then tighten the lock nuts to secure the extension
table in place, as shown in Fig. 13.
Fig.13
10. Slide the miter gauge bar into the T-slot on
the sliding table top near the blade, as shown in
Fig. 14. For full cutting capacity, the miter gauge
bar should be positioned flush with the front edge
of the sliding table. Use a 4mm wrench to turn the
lock screw at the front and rear of the miter gauge
bar COUNTERCLOCKWISE to lock the miter
gauge bar in place.
Fig.14
11. Pivot the crosscut fence counterclockwise
until the left end of the long slot on the crosscut
fence is away off the sliding table. Remove the
T-screw from the crosscut fence Lock Knob and
insert the T-screw up through the slot on the fence
as shown in Fig. 15. Pivot the fence clockwise
and slide the T-screw into the T-slot in the left side
of the sliding table top and screw in the crosscut
fence Lock Knob. Do not tighten the Lock Knob at
this time.
Fig. 15
12. Use a 5mm hexagon wrench to slightly
loosen the crosscut fence from the miter gauge as
shown in Fig. 16. With the blade guard installed,
raise the saw blade to the highest elevation. Pivot
the crosscut fence until it is parallel to the front
edge of the saw table. Slide the crosscut fence
until the right side of the crosscut fence is about
2-1/8 inches (55.5mm) from the left side of the
blade. Re-tighten the screws.
Note: If you want to position the crosscut
fence closer to the blade, be careful not to run
the crosscut fence into the blade guard or
anti-kickback pawls.
