WORK CLAMP - Illustration #5
The "tru-cut" clamping system incorporates a fast
pivoting clamp that securely holds 4" x 4" pieces as
easily as 1/4" x 1/4". The multi-faced clamp will hold
irregular shaped moldings without marring. "Tru-
cut" clamping is similar to "C" clamps where the
force is directed toward itself with no pressure di-
rected unequally on a_y of your miter box parts,
which would cause distertion. Support brackets for
clamps are provided left and right of the saw ena-
bling clamping on either side, However thisclamp=
ing device will work independent of the support
brackets.

Further adjustments can be made if, for example, the saw or a new saw fits too loosely or too tightly
between the rollers. These rollers can be brought closer together or farther apart, thus restricting or
releasing pressure against the saw. These rollers are mounted with eccentric bushings, which when
rotated, can bring these rollers closer together or further apart. Access to these bushings is achieved by
the removal of the retaining plate (see exploded view). Caution: Whenever this type of adjustment is
made, it is likely that upon completion you will need to make the horizontal adjustment above. The saw
should glide freely between rollers, yet not wobble. r;:--+*_ , .... - "
