SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 2 UNPACKING INFORMATION Your miter clamping kit includes a miter clamp and the connecting hardware necessary to assemble and attach the miter clamp to the miter fence of your saw. NOTE: This kit applies downward and inward pressure to the workpiece. The kit snugly pulls the workpiece against the miter fence up to a maximum of 1/16 in. Remove the loose parts from the box. Make sure that all items listed in the loose parts list are included. Inspect all parts carefully to make sure no breakage or damage occurred during shipping. If any parts are damaged or missing, please call 1-800-525-2579 for assistance. WARNING: If any parts are missing do not assemble the kit until the missing parts are replaced. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury. LOOSE PARTS LIST 1. Post 2. Miter Clamp 3. Knob Bolt #5/16-18 x 1 in. 4. Spacer 5. T-Nut 5/16 in. MITER CLAMP POST KNOB BOLT SPACER 5/16 in.

Place the spacer provided on the threaded end of the post. Thread the post through the spacer into the 5/16 in. T-nut in the top channel of the miter fence. Tighten the post securely with an adjustable wrench. NOTE: The adjustable wrench will fit the flats on top of the post. ASSEMBLING THE MITER CLAMP See Figure 2. NOTE: When the miter clamp is correctly positioned on the post, the clamp is spring loaded. Spring loading holds the miter clamp out of the way while workpieces are placed or removed. Loosen the knob bolt threaded into the back of the miter clamp. DO NOT TIGHTEN THE BOLT UNTIL THE WORKPIECE IS IN THE DESIRED POSITION AND YOU ARE READY TO SECURE THE MITER CLAMPER. Orient the miter clamp as shown. Slide and turn the miter clamp on the post to activate the spring. The miter clamp is now spring loaded against the post and will remain in position when you release it. MITER FENCE Fig. 2 4 OPERATION PREPARING FOR CUTTING See Figure 3. Place the workpiece in the desired position against the saw's miter fence. Loosen the knob bolt. Slide the miter clamp down against the workpiece as shown. Tighten the knob bolt securely. As the knob bolt tightens, pressure against the post causes the miter clamp to pull the workpiece inward against the miter fence and down toward the table. As noted above, the miter clamp pulls the workpiece inward up to 1/16 in.
