To Replace or Reset the Wire
Note: A Phillips screwdriver is needed to replace or reset the wire.
Start with the blade centered and locked in the middle of the board.
Remove the small Phillips screw from wire capture knob (
I
).
(see
Figure 4
)
Loosen wire capture knob enough to thread the wire under the T-bolt (
J
).
Thread wire through all four pulleys
(see
Figure 5
)
with ends meeting in
the middle.
Crosswire should go under the wire cover plate (
K
) in the center of the board.
(see
Figure 6
)
Attach spring to loops at each end of wire (
L
). Spring should be in the center of
the board and should ride above the wire cover plate, not under it.
Tighten wire capture knobs and reinsert small Phillips screws. Tighten securely.

Care and Handling
Keep top adjustment knobs tight to ensure straightedge stays parallel.
Avoid over tightening adjustment knobs or damage may occur.
Clean board surface and underside of blade with mild detergent and soft cloth. Wipe dry.
When transporting or storing the PXB, lock the straightedge at the bottom edge of the board to minimize the chance of damage.
Protect your PXB from damage by storing and transporting in a protective case.
Do not attempt to move straightedge with brakes tightened.
Avoid direct exposure to sunlight and extreme heat.
