Normally but not always the cross slide just comes off quite easily.
Turn the handle so the cross slide moves away from you, most times the cross slide will stop moving and the handle just keeps on going around. At this point the thread part has disconnected from the cross slide nut, the cross slide should slide off (towards the back ) provided there is nothing in the way to stop it.
To make things a little easier you may need to loosen the jib screws a little.
Most cross slides do come off as easy as this.
