Clamp
The clamp (Figure 13) has a quick release feature; push the handle forward to move the jaw against the workpiece, then further tighten the clamp by rotating the handle. The clamp jaw can also be retracted by loosening the handle about a half turn, and then pulling it outward.
The clamp can be swiveled for tapered workpieces. Loosen both screws (one is shown in Figure 13) and swivel the clamp as needed.
If you do not wish to mar a soft workpiece, you can mount a board to the face of the clamp jaw, using screws (not provided) through the two holes in the jaw.
Stock Stop
The stock stop, shown in Figure 13, is useful for repetitive cuts of the same length, and can be mounted to either end of the fence. Loosen the wing screws to adjust.
Setting Lateral Stops
Loosen the locking handles and slide the lateral stops (Figure 14) to the desired position. Re- tighten the locking handles.
