ASSEMBLY

FIGURE 2

1) Fasten clamp arm (A) Fig.2 to the back of the work support plate using

the M10 x 25mm cap screw (B), M10 x 20mm cap screw (C) and lock

washers as shown.

2) Fasten clamp assembly (A) Fig.3 to the clamp arm (B) using the M8 x

50mm cap screw (C) and flat washer (D), as shown.

3) Fasten handles (E) Fig.3 to the clamp arm (B) and base (F), as shown.

4) IMPORTANT: The installed 3/8” x 3/4” T-slot guide bar (G) Fig.3, located

on the base (F) of the Tenon Jig, has been preset at the factory for

operation on right tilting arbor cabinet saws. To use on contractor table

saws, the T-slot guide bar must be replaced with the 1/4” x 3/4” T-slot

guide bar. If you are using the Tenon Jig on a right tilting arbor saw,

proceed with instructions for “Aligning Tenon Jig”. If you are using the

Tenon Jig on a left tilting arbor saw, the guide bar (G) Fig.3, must be

relocated on the base (F) of the Tenon Jig, as follows:

FOR LEFT TILTING ARBOR SAWS ONLY

5) Loosen the small lock handle (A) Fig.4. Loosen and remove the large

lock handle (B) and flat washer (C) from the Tenon Jig. NOTE: Each lock

handle (A) and (B) is spring loaded and can be repositioned by pulling

out on the handle and repositioning it on the nut located underneath the

handle.

6) Using a 3mm hex. key, loosen set screw (A) Fig.5 and remove the micro-

adjustment assembly (B) from the Tenon Jig as shown in Fig.6.

ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUSTING T-SLOT GUIDE BAR TO TABLE SLOT

Make sure the saw is disconnected from the power source before

proceeding!

A bonus T-slot guide bar has been included with this Tenon Jig to offer a

more versatile product which fits most table saws on the market. This

bonus T-slot guide bar is used on table saws having a T-slot 1/4” high x

3/4” wide. This guide bar generally fits Contractors table saws. The

guide bar pre-assembled to the Tenon jig fits T-slots 3/8” high x 3/4”

wide. This guide bar generally fits Cabinet table saws.

1) The Tenon jig T-slot guide bars (A) are adjustable (Fig.11) which al-

lows the Tenon jig to be custom fitted to your saw, eliminating any

side-to-side play. There is a T-slot washer (B) on each end of the

guide bar to prevent the Tenon jig from lifting during operation. NOTE:

T-slot washers (B) need to be removed if your table saw is not

equipped with T-slotted miter gauge slots.

2) Place Tenon jig guide bar (A) fig.12, into the left miter gauge slot (B) of

the machine as shown and slide back and forth to determine if there is

any side-to-side play. If there is no side-to-side play and the Tenon jig

slides easily through the miter gauge slot, no adjustment is necessary;

however, if the Tenon jig fits too snugly, or if there is an excessive play

between the guide bar and the miter gauge slot, proceed as follows:

3) Remove Tenon jig from the machine and place it upside down as

shown in fig.11.

4) Using the 2.5mm hex. key, adjust screws (C) fig.11 clockwise to

eliminate play, or counterclockwise to provide a looser fit between the

guide bar (A) and miter gauge slot (B) fig.12. Insert the Tenon jig back

into the miter gauge slot and determine if the fit is suitable, or if further

adjustments are required.

ALIGNING TENON JIG

Make sure the saw is disconnected from the power source before

proceeding!

1) Place the Tenon jig guide bar (A) fig.12 into the left miter gauge slot

(B).

2) Using a square (C) fig.12, check to see if the vertical work support

plate (D) is 90

to the saw table. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen

lock handle (E), move the vertical work support plate (D) until it is 90

to the table and tighten lock handle (E). NOTE: Lock handle (E) is

spring loaded and can be repositioned by pulling out on the handle

and repositioning it on the nut located underneath the handle.

3) With the vertical work support plate (A) fig.13 adjusted at 90

to the

table, tighten set screw (B) until it bottoms. This positive stop set

screw enables you to rapidly position the vertical work support plate at

a 90

angle after it has been tilted.

4) Using a square (A) fig.14, check to see if the face of the backstop (B)

is 90

to the saw table. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the lock

lever (C), adjust backstop (B) accordingly and tighten lock lever.

NOTE: The lock lever (C) is spring loaded and can be repositioned by

pulling out on the handle and repositioning it on the nut located under-

neath the handle.

ADJUSTMENTS

5) Loosen nut (A) fig.15 and turn set screw (B) counterclockwise two or

three times.

6) Loosen two lock levers (A & B) Fig.16, and move the jig (C) until the

vertical work support plate (D) is against the saw blade and tighten lever

(A). NOTE: Lock levers (A & B) are spring loaded and can be reposi-

tioned by pulling out on the handles and repositioning them on the nut

located underneath the handles.

7) Verify if the vertical work support plate (D) fig.16, is parallel with the saw

blade.

8) If an adjustment is necessary, loosen lever (A) fig.16, and rotate knob

(E) clockwise as far as possible to align the holes (F) with the guide bar

(G) and gain access to the set screws. Loosen the two screws inside

the holes (F) and move jig (C) until the vertical work support plate (D) is

parallel with the saw blade. Then tighten the two screws inside the holes

(F).

9) Move jig (C) fig.16, 1/8” away from the blade so that the vertical work

support plate (D) clears the saw blade, tighten lever (A).

10) Rotate knob (E) fig.16 counterclockwise until the collar (H) is halfway

between the knob (E) and the side of the jig (C), tighten lever (B).

11) Turn screw (A) fig.17 clockwise until it bottoms. This prevents the ver-

tical work support plate (B) from accidentally being moved into the

blade, tighten nut (C).

12) Loosen screw (A) fig.18 and adjust the pointer (B) to the “0” mark on

the scale.

ADJUSTMENTS

1) For rapid adjustment of the vertical work support plate (A) fig.19, to-

ward or away from the saw blade, loosen levers (B) and (C) and move

jig (D) as necessary. Tighten levers (B & C) after rapid adjustment is

made.

2) Fine adjustment of the vertical work support plate (A) fig.19, can be

accomplished by loosening the lever (B) and rotating the knob (E) until

the plate (A) is at the desired position. Tighten lever (B) after the fine

adjustment is made.

3) To tilt the vertical work support plate (A) fig.19, loosen the lock lever

(F), tilt the vertical work support plate to the desired angle and tighten

lock lever (F).

4) To adjust the backstop (A) fig.20, for angle tenons, loosen lock lever

(B), adjust backstop to the desired angle and tighten lock lever (B).

5) IMPORTANT: THE TENONING JIG IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH A

BEVEL SCALE FOR THE POSITIONING OF THE BACKSTOP (A)

FIG.20, OR THE SUPPORT PLATE (A) FIG.19. FOR THE DESIRED

ANGLE, THE WORKPIECE SHOULD BE CUT PRIOR TO THE SET

UP OF THE TENONING JIG.

6) The Tenon Jig features a positive stop to ensure fast and accurate

positioning of the backstop (C) fig.21, at 90

to the saw table. To check

and adjust the positive stop at 90

, loosen lock handle (A) and place

one end of a combination square (B) on the saw table and the other

end against the backstop (C). Check to see if the backstop is at 90

the saw table. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen lock nut (D) and

tighten or loosen the adjustment screw (E) until the head of the screw

contacts the casting on the vertical work support plate (F) at 90

Tighten lock nut (D) and lock handle (A) after the adjustment is made.

To eliminate chip-out of the workpiece when performing cheek cuts, an

auxiliary wooden backup board can be fastened to the backstop (A)

fig.22, with two wood screws through the two pre-drilled holes (B). Fig.22

illustrates a backup board (C) fastened to the backstop.

A block of wood may also be fastened to the vertical work support plate

(A) fig.23, through the four pre-drilled holes (B) to prevent the saw blade

from contacting the jig in certain setups.
