General Safety Rules
•Read this manual and these safety guidelines. When using the Swing Stop™ as an
accessory to another Kreg product and a power tool, read, understand, and follow
the Kreg product manual and the tool manufacturer's safety guidelines. Learn the
applications and limitations of the tool as well as the hazards specific to it. Operating the power
tool before understanding safe and proper use could result in personal injury.
•Ensure that the T-knob securing the Swing Stop™ to the Trak or fence is tight prior to
starting the power tool.
•Keep hands away from a moving blade or bit when operating the machine. Never reach
near a moving blade or bit to clear debris. Turn off the power tool and wait for the blade or bit to
come to a complete stop.
•Always support long boards on both the infeed and the outfeed ends.
•Always securely hold workpieces against the machine table and miter gauge or fence.
•This Swing Stop™ is designed for a specific application. Do not modify and/or use it for
any other application. If you have questions about the miter gauge, DO NOT use it until you
contact Kreg Tool Company and receive advice.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

These stops can be secured anywhere along the Trak. The Swing
Stop TM is designed to raise out of your way automatically, when a
board is pushed against the front; as shown in Figure 2 .
The Stop Arm rests on top of the workpiece until the board has been
withdrawn. When the board is removed or moved to the side of the stop,
the arm drops down and is again ready for use.
The Stop Arm can be positioned on either side of the base which is
secured to the Top Trak with the T-Knob. ( The Stop Arm should be
positioned between the base and the saw blade; as shown in Figure 2.)
The distance between the blade and the Stop Arm is measured using
the lens and tape attached to the Top Trak. (see the opposite side of this
page for more instructions.)
About the Lens Cursor
Our stops feature an adjustable Lens Cursor, similar to the lens on a
quality tablesaw rip-fence. The lens is a clear material, except for a red
line (cursor) on the bottom of the lens; as shown in Figure 3. The Lens
Cursor is adjustable to fine-tune the stop, and is secured in place with
the Lens Screw. The Lens Cursor can be aligned to either side of the
Stop Arm.
The cursor makes it easy to read the tape lines and compensate for
variations in blade thickness and imperfectly positioned tape. Because
the Lens Cursor protrudes ⁄ " from the stop (as seen in Figure 4), the

self-adhesive tape on a Kreg precision measuring component must be
placed ⁄ " closer to the saw blade for the lens to work properly.

After you have correctly set the Swing Stop
make a few practice cuts to ensure its accuracy. First, set the Swing
Top Trak
Stop at 20" (or any length you desire) and make a cut. Check the
TM
stock with your tape measure to test the accuracy of the cut. Make
adjustments to the Lens Cursor as necessary. Do this by loosening
the Lens Screw and gently pulling or pushing the Lens Cursor to the
desired location before tightening the Lens Screw again. Make a
second cut at 18" (or any length shorter than the original) and test the
accuracy again. Repeat this process as necessary.
