Allen (hex) key and extend the
telescopic parts to the desired length. (These can be re-adjusted
later before fixing the
machine to the wall). Tighten screws firmly to clamp in position.

Fit the screws through the squaring arm into the leg using the
5mm Allen (hex) key, do not tighten fully.
Do this gently
Refit the squaring adjuster block by firstly sliding the steel bar
into the opening in the squaring arm, then align the heads of the
two screws in the leg to fit the top and bottom holes in the
adjuster block. The screws fixing the squaring arm to the
machine should still be loose and allow it some movement to
help alignment. Insert and tighten the screw in the middle hole.

Fit the two screws to secure the legs at the top of the main body
using the 6mm Allen (hex) key, tighten both screws fully. Tighten
the other two adjacent screws.
Do this firmly
NOTE: The screws fit into special grooves in the underside of the supports. The grooves have teeth on their sides to match
the teeth of the screw thread, the screw can be fitted in the groove anywhere along its length but be careful to make sure
the screw is kept perpendicular to the Support and not screwed in out of line.
Use one of the long screws in each of the holes along the legs of
the machine and short screws to fix the support arm to the main
body. Ensure the ends of the supports are firmly against the main
body and the screws are aligned with the special grooves as
explained above.
