To get the table off, you will wnat to loosen the gibs, the little nuts and allen set screws in front of the table on the saddle, to remove the saddle you will also want to loosen those on the right side of it and take off the y-axis leadscrew and slide the saddle off.
The motor is relatively loud, the gear chatter is semi-normal but if you loosen up the black plate and turn on the motor slowly and adjust it by hand so it makes the least chatter you can get rid of some of that. Your backlash is minimal and sounds good.
As for the fine tuning, I found that if you push up on the tri prong arm thing while doing all that untill the gib is locked(use the gib lock whenever cutting) it does a much better job.
