With the jig’s Miter Bar (7) seated fully in the saw’s right miter
slot, pull the jig back so that it is clear of the cutting area. Raise
the saw blade, plug in and turn on the saw and then advance
the jig past the blade to trim the Base (6) and establish the
zero-clearance edge.
Fig. 2.
Jig Use
Keep the saw blade as low as possible
to make the cut as specified by your table saw’s
instruction manual.
Before making the actual cut, become familiar with the
cutting process by practicing the motion of the cut with
the blade lowered and the
power turned off.
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.
>
Before every use, make sure the 1/4"-20
Countersunk Screws (8) holding the Miter Bar (7)
to the jig Base (6) are fully tightened. If loosening
becomes a problem, apply thread-locking liquid
to the screws and fully tighten them.
>
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.
For safe operation of the Taper/Straight-Line Jig, your workpiece
must not be more than 7/8" thick, 4" wide and 11
1

Position the Adjustable Fence (1) to achieve the desired taper
and to remove the desired amount of stock.
Fig. 3.
There are
several ways to set the taper angle:
A.
Use the indexing marks at both ends of the jig to set
the taper. The marks are 1/4" apart.
B.
Align marks on your stock indicating the beginning and end
of the taper with the zero-clearance edge of the jig.
2.
Secure the Adjustable Fence (1) in position by tightening
the 1" Round Knobs (5) at each end.
