O. [. . . ] NOTE: Be sure there are no gaps between end sections #7 and slats. Run your finger across the two seams between center section #8 and end sections #7 to check for any uneven areas. You should not need shims to even up the table top sections #7 and #8, so if the sections do not align, first try loosening screws and brush out underneath to remove chips etc. . Then check under table to make sure there are no gaps between the table top sections and the slats. However, do not tighten screws so much that the sections begin to crush or crack. Top edges of seams must be precisely level and even with one another. If you need to use shims, read the shimming instructions on the following page. 8 SHIMMING INSTRUCTIONS IF REQUIRED General Rules !Accomplish the leveling of the playing surface with as few shims as possible. Do not tap with a hammer or tighten screws unreasonably tight. You will not be able to compress the playing surface. You must shim up the playing surface to level. Shims are meant only to raise the low places at the seams and ends. Very short and low places should be filled with grout. Most leveling can be accomplished by working with the frame. If using power tools be sure to use only enough torque to reasonably tighten screws. Seams can best be checked by passing your finger over the seam and feeling if it is flush. All screws must be tightened after shimming. Figure 12 Top of playing surface must be flush at seams! shim STEP BY STEP SHIMMING 23. Be sure table is set in its final location. Table must be as level as possible before shimming. Large differences in levelness must be corrected by raising or lowering frame with shim stock. Tighten down all the playing surface mounting screws. Check with a carpenter's level to determine where slate is low on ends, and use finger tips to locate uneven spots at the seams. [. . . ] Place one screw #37 in the middle hole on the corner post. The middle hole for corner posts #45 has not been predrilled. Make a starter hole using a small finishing nail or an awl, tapping lightly with a hammer. This hole does not need to be very deep. [. . . ]
