OWNER'S MANUAL
Please take just a few minutes of your time to read
your new INCRA TWIN LINEAR ownerʼs manual.
Youʼll find it full of interesting and useful information
about safety, setting up, and putting to use the many
wonderful features of the TWIN. And itʼs all written
by someone who continues to use every INCRA
product from the very first INCRA Jig all the way up
to our best offering ever — the INCRA TWIN LINEAR!
In eight years of using one INCRA Jig or another
virtually every weekend (and some week nights) Iʼve
come to know these tools inside out. In writing this
manual I want to share this experience with you. Iʼve
attempted to make everything as clear as possible,
but if you are in doubt, weʼll be here to help. See
you in the shop!
