WARNING
The table saw crosscut sled is intended for use only on
cabinet and full-size contractor-grade table saws with a
standard 3/8"D x 3/4"W miter slot. It is NOT intended for use
on portable saws.
1.
Make sure the table saw's blade is parallel to the table's
miter slot and 90˚ to the table. If it isn't, follow the saw
manufacturer's guidelines to make necessary adjustments
so it is parallel to the miter slots and square to the table.
2.
Lower the blade below the table surface.
WARNING
The miter bar MUST be able to slide freely forward and
backward without side-to-side play. NEVER attempt to force the
crosscut sled if it fails to slide freely.
3.
Place the miter bar on the crosscut sled into the left miter
slot of the table saw and slide it to evaluate the fit. The
crosscut sled should slide easily but not shift side to side. If
adjustments are needed:
-
Remove the crosscut sled and turn it over. Use
the supplied small screwdriver to adjust the nylon
adjustable screws. Make necessary adjustments until
the crosscut sled slides easily but does not shift side
to side.
