29 A-H Side Tables. To attach the side tables to the 29A and H, begin by removing the bolts from the safety curtains. Once the safety curtains have been removed, remove the screws from the safety curtain covers. Loosen the knots, holding down the light beam sensor into place. Then, unscrew the connector to remove the yellow cable. Guide the yellow cable through the opening in the side table. Align the side table then mounted into place by using the knots and bolts provided. Be sure the side table is flash with the cutter table. With the side table securely in place, feed the yellow cable through the second opening in the side table. Next, screw the cable connector into the top of the safety curtain sensor. Slide the sensor bar back into place and hand tighten the knots to hold it in position. Repeat the same installation steps for the second side table. Align the safety curtain to the side table and screw into place. With safety curtains in position, check to be sure they are properly aligned and working. To test, place your hand between the sensors. You should see a red light go on and off. If the curtains are in place correctly, you should hear a click each time you place your hand between the sensors. If the sensor light does not go on and there is no click, adjust the sensor bars up or down until they align properly. When the sensors are correctly aligned, fasten each of the knots securely to ensure that the sensors will not move. Place the safety curtain covers back into position and carefully screw them back into place.
