[. . . ] READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING ASSEMBLY. Read each step completely before beginning each step. SOME SMALLER PARTS MAY BE SHIPPED INSIDE LARGER PARTS. CHECK INSIDE ALL PARTS AND CARTONS BEFORE ASSEMBLING OR ORDERING PARTS. USE THE HARDWARE IDENTIFIER TO IDENTIFY AND SORT ALL FASTENERS. [. . . ] !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. Loosen screws at these points and see if slate comes up to flush. If so detach individual shims from the sheet shipped with this table and place under these areas. Lay a straight edge across seams to be sure slate pieces are at the same height. After top surface of slate is flat and level all screws must be snugged down tight. Check these screws before proceeding to the next step. Minor differences can be filled with grout. GROUTING INSTRUCTIONS 30. Allow enough time for top sections to dry thoroughly before starting the next step. A small container of grout has been provided for filling small imperfections in the table seams and countersinks. [. . . ] Take remaining two drop pockets #17 and trim them as shown in Detail C. Then place them in each side pocket opening and secure with five nails #25 per pocket. Place nails about ½ inch below the top of pocket so the balls will not hit nails and get chipped. Hold the nails with a pair of needle nose pliers (See Figure 23, Detail B) and tap them into the plastic pocket with a small hammer. [. . . ]
