12 TSA-SA70 OWNER’S MANUAL
DISCONNECT YOUR TABLE SAW FROM ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE
BEGINNING ANY MODIFICATIONS.
MODIFYING YOUR TABLE SAW
Before mounting the Large Sliding Table, you may need to modify your table saw.
Some of the steps below involve removing/installing your rails, switchbox, and extension
wing. For those steps, please refer to your table saw manual and fence manual. (You can
download copies of your manuals at www.sawstop.com.)
For Unassembled Saws: If your saw has not yet been assembled, you will rst need to
pre-install the rails to mark them for cutting.
• If you plan to mount the Large Sliding Table with the left extension wing, begin
by installing and aligning the left extension wing as described in the installation
documentation for your table saw.
• If you plan to mount the Large Sliding Table without the left extension wing, then do
not install the wing for this step.
• Next, install your rail assembly to the saw as described in your fence manual. It is not
necessary to install every screw or to fully align and tighten your rails at this time.
• Now proceed to page 13 if you plan to install the Large Sliding Table with the left
extension wing.
• Alternatively, proceed to page 15 if you plan to install the Large Sliding Table without
the left extension wing.

Shortening the Rails WITH the Extension Wing
PAGES:

Mark the front rail and main tube 1 1/4” to the right of the left edge of the left
extension wing. If shortening the rear rail, mark the rear rail 1/4” to the right of the
left edge of the extension wing.
Use a 13mm wrench to remove the bolts from the underside of the main tube.
Set it aside.
3
4
Use a 13mm wrench and 5mm hex wrench to remove the front rail (and rear rail if
shortening rear rail).
Use a metal cutting band saw or a hack saw with a metal cutting blade to cut off
the front rail and main tube (and rear rail if shortening rear rail) at the marks made in
step 1.
USING OTHER TYPES OF SAWS (SUCH AS A CIRCULAR SAW) CAN
GENERATE ENOUGH HEAT TO BLISTER THE POWDER COATING. IT IS
STRONGLY SUGGESTED THAT YOU USE A METAL CUTTING BAND SAW
OR A HACK SAW WITH A METAL CUTTING BLADE ONLY.
WITH EXTENSION WING
Do You Need to Modify the FRONT Rails on Your Table Saw?
If you are installing your Large Sliding Table on a PCS model table saw, you will need to
shorten the front rails on your saw as described below.
However if you are installing your Large Sliding Table on an ICS model table saw, you only
need to shorten the front rails if they extend past the left edge of the left extension wing.
If you need to shorten the front rails, follow the steps described below. If you do not need
to shorten the front rails, you can skip to page 17.
Do You Need to Modify the REAR Rail on Your Table Saw?
If the left end of the rear rail does not extend past the left edge of the left extension wing,
then you do not need to shorten the rear rail. If you have not fully installed the rear rail,
complete the assembly of the rear rail as described in your fence manual.
If the left end of the rear rail does extend past the left edge of the left extension wing, then
you will need to shorten the rear rail as described below.

14 TSA-SA70 OWNER’S MANUAL
6Remove the plastic end cap from the cut off portion of the main tube and install it
on the new left end of the main tube.
7If necessary, complete the assembly of your saw then re-install the front and rear
rails and the main tube (refer to your saw and fence manuals).
When finished, continue to page 17.
