3.
Slide the clamp mounting bracket so the
clamps provide enough room to move your
workpieces in and out.
Note: Use a ruler to make sure that both sides
are adjusted equally; otherwise, contact area
of the clamp faces will not be uniform, which
could result in the workpieces slipping during
operation.
4.
Tighten the hex nuts against the clamp brack-
ets to hold them in place.
Changing Template Sizes
The template bar (Figure 19) has a different size
dovetail template on each of the four sides. The
size of each template is stamped into that side.
The active template size is always the side that is
facing down. A tracer pin connected to the head-
stock guides the cutter along the template profile
when cutting.

Model G0611X (Mfd. 07/15)
The template works in tandem with the indicator
plate and the fixed chaser.
Indicator Plate: Since the template bar is under-
neath the cutting area and away from immediate
operator view, the top edge of the indicator plate
mirrors the position of the tracer pin along the
template bar to help the operator when cutting.
Each indicator plate has two patterns. When
mounted, the top edge of the indicator plate must
match the current side of the template bar that is
being used. Whenever changing the template bar
size, the indicator plate must also be changed.
Use the two mounting cap screws to remove and
change the indicator plate (see Figure 20).

Fixed Chaser: The fixed chaser supports the
vertical workpiece, yet allows the cutter to cut the
bottom of the vertical workpiece without hitting
the metal fixed chaser. To prevent the cutter from
contacting the fixed chaser, use the fixed chaser
that corresponds to the template size shown in
Figure 21.
