POSITIONING THE BASE LOCATING BRACKETS & 

MOUNTING PLATES 

Position a bracket & plate assembly 10 cms (4”) 

inboard from either end of the Athena Support 

Beam.  Position the remaining assemblies along 

the length of the Athena Support Beam with equal 

spacing between each.  If one of the bracket 

assemblies coincides with a centre frame beam 

simply move that bracket to either side of the it. 

FITTING THE CUTTER ASSEMBLY

 

Lift the cutter assembly and place it centrally on 

the locating brackets.  The larger cutters are 

heavy and this will require two people.   

Remove the clear stretch wrap and gently 

manoeuvre the assembly until it is located 

properly on each of the brackets. Slide the 

assembly left or right so that the holes in the fixed 

arms line up with holes in the support brackets 

fitted to the table.  Insert the four button head 

screws and nuts (included with the table) at this 

point but do not tighten.  

 

Loosen by one full turn anti clock-wise, the four 

hexagon screws (two at each end) joining the 

fixed arms to the cutter base (see 4.2).  Now 

tighten the four button head screws fully insert 

the two wood screws. 

 

Tighten the grub screws at the back of each 

bracket (see 4.1 picture 1) by 8 full turns and then 

tighten the front grub screws (see 4.1 picture 2) 

up fully (approx 7-8 turns). 

 

The cutter bar is guaranteed to be straight to 

within 0.4mm (.016”) along its full length.  If you 

need to adjust the cutting groove in the base to 

match this, follow the instructions in 4.1
