37-380 In-feed table removal

Hi,  I’m picking one of these jointers up on Saturday and need to move it down a flight of stairs into my basement.  I know enough to take the unit of the base but @ 400 plus pounds I don’t think that it will reduce the weight  to the point where it will be very manageable.

My question is how easy would it be to take the in-feed table off and then reinstall it?  I know it rides in a couple of dovetail tracks with a adjustable gib.
Thanks for any information

Dave,

You might want to look at a manual in advance:  http://www.manualslib.com/manual/39410/Dewalt-37-380.html?page=1#manual

Good luck and be careful!

Thanks Peter

I have the manual & parts diagram.  I'm just wondering how hard it would be to get that heavey cast iron infeed table back onto the dovetails during re-asembly.
