8.  After the screws are all tight, make sure the bars will slide 

freely in the saw table tracks. Adjust the screws until the 

bars slide freely.

INSTALL THE BACK FENCE

In the example used, the back fence is cut to 24" long, 2-5/8" tall 
and 1-1/2" wide. 

IMPORTANT: THE FRONT AND BACK FENCE MUST BE 
2-5/8" TALL IN ORDER FOR THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO 
WORK PROPERLY. 

Measure 3/4" down from the top of the 

fence and draw a line. 

NEVER 

raise the blade above this mark. 

When the blade is fully raised it should be about 1-7/8" from the 
top of the sled base. 
1.  Place the base (sled) with the extended HDPE bars onto the 

back fence, make sure it is flush.

2.  Clamp the back fence to the back of the base (sled). Make 

sure the back fence is flush with the back of the sled. 

Pre-drill counter sink holes across the back edge of the 

base into the back fence. MAKE SURE THE HOLES DO 

NOT ALIGN WITH THE BLADE CUT (CENTER MARK 

ON BASE).

3.  Secure the back fence to the base with the appropriate 

length flat head wood screws (not supplied).

4.  Unlock the saw fence and move it out of the way.
5.  With the back fence facing the saw blade, place the base 

onto the saw with the HDPE guide bars in the tracks.

6.  Raise the saw blade to the 3/4" mark made earlier. DO NOT 

CUT ABOVE THIS MARK. Turn on the table saw and push 

the base (sled) through the saw blade, cutting through the 

back fence and base, STOP SHORT before cutting all the 
way through the base.

DO NOT CUT 

ABOVE THIS MARK

INSTALL THE FRONT FENCE

In the example used, the front fence is cut to 24" long, 2-5/8" tall 
and 3/4" wide.
The front fence needs to be square to the saw blade.
1.  Clamp one end of the front fence to the base.
2.  Use a square to adjust the front fence to be square to the 

kerf line (cut earlier) in the base. When square, clamp the 

other end of the front fence to the base.

3.  Pre-drill counter sink holes from the underside of the 

base into the front fence. MAKE SURE THE HOLES DO 

NOT ALIGN WITH THE BLADE CUT (CENTER MARK 

ON BASE).

4.  Secure the front fence to the base with the appropriate 

length flat head wood screws.

INSTALL THE T-TRACK

The T-Track allows the blade guard and flip stop to 
be assembled to the front fence.
1.  Place the T-Track onto the top of the front fence and clamp 

it in place.

2.  There are countersunk holes on the top of the T-Track, 

drive the #6 flat head wood screws (suppled)  through the 

countersunk holes and into the fence.
