THESE WARNINGS PERTAIN 

TO ALL REMAINING STEPS:

>

  To avoid serious injury, keep hands 

  and fingers out of the path of the 

  spinning blade. Maintain awareness 

  of the blade and safe hand position 

  at all times. Make sure fingers and 

  hands are not positioned in the 

  path of the blade.

When using the Small Parts Taper Jig, the Miter 

  Bar (7) should be positioned in the miter slot on 

  the right side of the saw blade. 

>  In the setup process on many saws, your initial cut 

  will remove a narrow piece of the jig’s Base (6) to 

  fit your specific saw and to create zero-clearance 

  support. Do NOT remove more than 1/2” from the 

  edge of the jig Base.

>

 Do 

NOT

 use the jig without the Easy-to-Grip 

  Tall Handle (10) installed. Before each use, make 

  sure that the Tall Handle is fully tightened to the 

  jig Base (6).

 

The Miter Bar (7) 

MUST

 be able to slide 

freely forward and backward without side-to-side play. 

NEVER

 attempt to force the jig if it fails to slide freely.
