MAINTENANCE

Your TS III is designed to give many years of virtually
maintenance-free operation.  In fact, just keeping your TS III
clean is all you need to do to keep the tool in top shape.
Occasionally, remove the carriage from the base and brush
or blow out any sawdust or debris that may have

accumulated.  Use a toothbrush to clean the teeth on the
INCRA racks on both the carriage and the base.  A light
application of paste wax to the top of the rails from time to
time will keep the rails smooth and clean.

05/01

Included with your TS III package you’ll find a 

pair of “L” shaped brackets with mounting hardware.

These stops mount to the bottom T-slot on the rails and are
used when you want to set stop positions for the base
assembly anywhere between the fixed left or right hand
stops located on the sides of the rails.

One reason for a mid-range stop position might be to
provide a single position for the base assembly where one
could access both the saw blade and a left hand router
table extension wing.  Such a setup would provide about
15"-16"  of range at the table saw function and up to 30" of
travel for the router function.  To install the stops, place a
washer on each of the (2)

- 16 x

" hex bolts.  Insert

the bolt through the hole in the stop and loosely thread on
the rectangular nut.  Slide the nut into the bottom T-slot

from the right end of each rail.  (See 

 ).  After

positioning the ULTRA along the rails at the desired
location, slide the floating
stops up to the base clamps
and tighten the bolts.  

Once positioned, you can
still slide the base assembly
past the stops if necessary
by first disengaging the
fence hooks and loosening
the (4) base clamp knobs
then lifting the base
assembly just enough to
clear the stops as you slide
the base assembly forward
