Trim the crosscut sled platform to fit the table saw
being used.
WARNING
The distance between the blade and miter track must be
4-1⁄4" or greater to ensure proper clearance between the
sled fence and the blade.
• Place the crosscut sled on the saw's table with the miter
bar in the left miter slot and clear of the blade.

• Make sure the MDF fence face is retracted out of the
way and will not be cut by the blade. Turn on the saw
and raise the blade, push the sled through the blade to
make the cut. NOTE: The edge of the crosscut sled now
precisely locates the cut line and provides zero-clearance
support to minimize tear-out.

Set the fence square to the saw blade. Loosen the five and
seven star knobs to allow the fence to be adjusted. See
Figures 7 and 8.
• Place a reliable combination square against the blade and
adjust the fence until it is precisely 90° to the saw blade.
(Make sure the square contacts only the plate of the blade
and not the teeth.) See Figure 12.
• Tighten the five and seven star knobs to lock down the
fence. Figures 7 and 8.
• The line on the acrylic indicator might not line up with
0° angle mark on the protractor scale at this time, this
adjustment will be made later.

With the fence square to the blade, use the included hex
wrenches to turn the set screw in the adjustable stop until it
contacts the back of the fence. This screw will act as a stop
every time you return the fence to 0°. See Figure 13.
Use a screwdriver to adjust the acrylic indicator so that the
red line is directly over the 0° angle mark. See Figure 13.

Install the hold down clamp.
• Inserting the T-bolt from the underside of the sled, slide to
the desired position and secure with the supplied knob.
Slide the T-Bolt on the flip stop into the T-Slot in top of the
fence, tighten the knob. The arm on the flip stop functions
as an easily adjustable stop and can be flipped up when not
needed. NOTE: The flip stop is multi-functional, see the Flip
Stop paragraph under Operation for details. To prevent
chip build up, the stop does not extend the full width of the
fence. However when using a stop with material 3/8" thick
or less, a longer stop will need to be fabricated and can be
mounted in the T-Slot located in the front of the fence.
