3.

 Place your stock tight against the Adjustable Fence (1), with 

  the eventual narrow end flush against the Adjustable Stop at 

  the end of the fence. Position the Adjustable Stop so that it will 

  support the stock but won’t come into contact with the saw 

  blade during the cut. Make certain that it is securely fastened. 

 

Fig. 4.

4.

 Position the Large and Small Hold Down Clamps (3 and 4), 

  spacing them proportionally along the workpiece. Make sure 

  that the Hold Down Clamps will not come into contact with 

  the saw blade, guard or riving knife during the cut. Turn the 

  Easy-to-Grip 1" Knobs (5) to tighten the Hold Down Clamps 

  and secure the workpiece. 

Fig. 5.

5.

 With the saw turned off, lower the blade and rehearse 

  the cut by using the Easy-to-Grip Tall Knob (10) to move 

  the jig forward.

6.

 Position your hand on the jig as shown and push the jig past 

  the retracted blade, keeping your hands well clear of the 

  cutting area and making sure that the Adjustable Stop won’t 

  come into contact with the saw blade during the cut. 

Fig. 6.

 

7.

 Make any adjustments necessary and check to be sure 

  all knobs are secure. 

8.

 Return the jig to the starting position, raise the blade, turn 

  the saw on and carefully make the cut. 

 

Keep the saw blade as low as possible 

to make the cut as specified by your table saw’s 

instruction manual.

Before making the actual cut, become familiar with the 

cutting process by practicing the motion of the cut with 

the blade lowered and the 

power turned off.

 

Hold Down Clamps (3 and 4) must be 

positioned so that they will not come into contact with saw 

blade, guard or riving knife at any point during the cut.

To minimize the chance of dangerous kickback, tighten 

Hold Down Clamps (3 and 4) to secure the workpiece 

after making any adjustments and before making the 

cut. Do not overtighten.
