Step one in using your new stock guides is to position the stock guides. One on the infeed side and the other
on the outfeed side. They should be adjusted to
ENSURE THAT THE ROLLER IS CLEAR OF THE BLADE
ON BOTH THE INFEED AND OUTFEED SIDE.
Once they are set in the desirable position from front to
back the track knobs can be tightened. See
Figure #5
on page 9 for proper positioning of your stock guides.
The next step is to adjust the height of each stock guide. This is done by loosening the clamping knob and
raising or lowering the stock guide and placing the outward edge of the stock guide (the portion with the
JessEm decal on it) on top of your stock. Also, at this stage, the guide can be adjusted to the left or right of
the fence depending on the distance the fence is from the blade. If there is plenty of clearance from the blade
to the fence then the stock guide can be set further away from the fence which will help hold your work piece
more securely to the table saw surface. (See
Figure #4
below for mounting distances) If your fence is close to
the blade the stock guide can be positioned close to the fence providing clearance from the blade. Once this
is done then securely tighten the clamping knob. This outward radius edge of the stock guide is slightly
higher than the contact surface of the tires and by tightening the stock guide in this position it ensures the
correct amount of spring pressure and travel on your stock.
