Removing Jammed
V-Nail
V-nails may become jammed in the channel,
requiring removal of the V-nail block (see
Figure
29). The driver, which presses the V-nail into the
workpiece, can also become jammed in the V-nail
block due to adhesive build up on sliding surface.
Keep the work area and components clean to
prevent this.

Adjusting Front Clamp
1. Slide fence in or out based on workpiece
width and desired V-nail placement. When
fence is positioned correctly, tighten fence
lock handle (see

Note: Placing one mitered piece against the
fence while positioning it can help you visu-
ally verify V-nail placement.
2. Place both workpieces against fence (see
Figure 17), and press down on front clamp
foot pedal. This will move spring assem-
bly pin into a favorable position for proper
