Before attaching tilt mechanisms to big board, you must
ensure that the rear wood frame is sitting fl ush on the
board surface. Adjust the tilt mechanisms as necessary
to ensure no space is left between these surfaces, and
then securely tighten the four screws that attach the tilt
mechanisms to the
rear oak crossbar
.
Mark the locations in large board for four holes in tilt
mechanisms. Be sure bracket on end of tilt mechanism
is fl ush to board. Use an awl or drill with 1/16" bit to
make starter holes. Use care not to drill all the way
through the tabletop. Attach using 3/4" Phillips
screws. Tighten securely but use care not to over
tighten and strip.
Attach drawer face to drawer front using 1" Phillips
screws. Note: Drawer face has two sets of predrilled
holes. Use the
upper set
upper set
and be sure that lock is on
the right side. Use care to ensure face is attached
straight, square, and centered to the drawer unit.
Tighten screws securely.
Gripping drawer rails and drawer together, turn drawer
upside down and align rail brackets with holes in wood
rails attached to small board, as shown in diagram.
Attach using 3/4" Phillips screws. Tighten securely.
Carefully return assembled table to its upright position.
This will require two people. Use care to keep drawer
unit from sliding open.
Adjust tilt of tabletop to desired angle. The ratcheted tilt
mechanisms allow you to set the tabletop at a variety
of comfortable working angles. Simply lift the table
top from the back edge until it clicks into the desired
position. To return the top to the fl at position, raise the
back edge as high as it will go. This will release the
ratchet mechanism.
And fi nally, just when you think you’re done, go back
and retighten all the screws and bolts on the entire
table to ensure that it remains strong, sturdy, and stable
for many years of use. You may want to fi ne-tune the
position of the drawer face at this time if it is not quite
straight and in line with the base frame. Slightly loosen
the drawer face screws from the inside and reposition
as necessary.
Insert mushroom caps into unused side frame holes.
These caps are pressure fi t but you may want to apply a
small drop of glue inside the hole to ensure they do not
fall out over time.
Please save these instructions for future reference.
Thank you for purchasing an Alvin Drafting Table.
