Adjusting Extrusion Position to Main Body
I
Loosen the alloy connector to extrusion knobs to
allow the extrusion to be slid backwards or
forwards along the alloy connector.
I
Ensure both T-nuts remain in the extrusion slot.
I
Once position is achieved, lock the knobs to
secure.
Preset Angles
I
When using a preset angle, position the
extrusion and protractor at the required angle
and use the knurled locking knob in the hole
to lock the guide.
I
When not in use the knurled locking knob can
be stored in the park on the protractor
If the extrusion is used with the end
caps removed ensure when sliding
the extrusion that both T-nuts remain
in the extrusion slot.
Zeroing Protractor Guide
The variable angle guide is factory set, however
it has been designed so that the angle protractor
can be zeroed. The bottom rail is secured to the
main body by three machine screws that can be
loosened with the supplied hex key. Two of the
screws run through slots, which allow the bottom
rail to be pivoted slightly, either forward or
backwards which will allow for zeroing.
To zero angle guide:-
I
Remove alloy extrusion and alloy connector
from the main body assembly.
I
Loosen the adjustable locking lever, and
place the knurled locking knob at the 90°
position in the protractor, and tighten down.
This locks the protractor in position.
I
Loosen the three socket head screws that
hold the bottom rail to the main body using
the hex key, so the bottom rail can move.
I
Using a try square position a planed timber
batten (12mm to 18mm thick) to the bench
perpendicular to an edge, leaving about
100mm projecting from the bench edge,
and clamp securely (ensuring clamps will not
get in the way of the main body assembly).

Position the main body assembly so that the
loose bottom rail is up against the bench
edge and slide main body assembly towards
the timber batten. Adjust the main body
assembly (by pivoting slightly) so the end of
the protractor is touching the batten along the
protractor ends entire length.
