1.
Locate the two (2) holes under the right side of the Horizontal Material Bar.
2.
Align the holes on the top of the Tool Caddy with the holes under the right side of the
Horizontal Material Bar.
3.
Attach the Tool Caddy to the Horizontal Material Bar using the (2) Screws and (2) Washers
provided in the Tool Caddy Box.
4.
Tighten the Screws using a Phillips-head Screwdriver.

Squaring the FSC
1.
Take a ¼" thick piece of PVC or foamboard (approx. 32"H x 40"W) and place the straight
edge on the Horizontal Material Bar. Measure it with a tape measure and mark it top and
bottom at the halfway point (approximately 20").
2.
Insert the 1/2" Blade Holder into the Cutting Head. Loosen the
Slide Securing Knob and
depress the Thumb Lever. Move the Cutting Head and the board so the mark on the board
aligns with the Cutting Head. Clamp the board in place, depress the Thumb Lever, raise
the
Cutting Head and make two cuts. Make the first cut through the top of the board 1"
long, and make the second cut through the bottom of the board 1" long.
3.
Rotate the board 180
°
so the back is facing you and the board is resting on the same
bottom edge as before. Slide it into the machine again. Align the blade with the bottom cut
you made, which will now be visible from the reverse side of the board.
Clamp the board
into place. Depress the Thumb Lever, raise the Cutting Head and make a third cut 1" long
at the top edge of the board.
4.
If the machine is square, the two cuts at the top of the board (the second cut, made from
the front and the third cut, made from the back) will be in alignment. Tighten the Hex Nut
on the Ramp Adjusting Bolt at the left side of the machine. Then tighten the four (4)
mounting screws on the Horizontal Material Bar.
5.
If the cuts you made on the front and back of the board do not align
, the machine is
not square yet. The Horizontal Material Bar must be repositioned. If the third cut you made
(the one made at the top on the back of the board) is to the
left
of the second cut you made
(at the top of the board from the front), the Horizontal Material Bar must be lowered by
making a ramp adjustment on the left side of the machine. Conversely, if the third cut you
made (on the top of the back of the board) is to the
right
of the second cut (on the top of
the front), the Horizontal Material Bar must be raised. In either case, the amount of
squaring adjustment required is
half the distance between the two top cuts
. Once the
machine is square, follow the step above (#4).
