Sometimes packages just don't make it. This is one of those times. Thankfully, the manufacturer supported the product with heavy foam blocks so that no damage was caused. |

This pic was shot about 5 years ago and it shows dear friend Sal bringing in the 85# box with a Festool MFT or Multi Function Table. I have two of them in my shop now, and they can be very useful. |

It is Sal again and thank goodness. The 85# box isn't getting lighter. But you can see how it is packed and how the dented carton didn't get to the [product. |

Not waiting to read the instructions, he swings the two leg sets down and locks them. |
|
Having unpacked two boxes of miscellaneous parts, he decides that reading the instructions might help. |

Actually, this one product picture off of Festool's website helps setting up the MFT3

Sal
installed the angle unit so that the fence could be furthest back and allow the longest
cross cut. As you can see in the product shot, it can be moved forward by a simple turn of
one knob.

This knob allows the fence to slide left and right. Sal has set it so that it just misses the guide rail. |
|
With the
guide rail still firmly aganst the engineers' square and resting on this front
"nib" (arrow), the guide rail should be at an exact 90° to the fence.
