LOCKING THE PROTRACTOR
You can lock the protractor so that it will not slide in its

slot when using the side pressure finger or if attaching

a jig.
Slide the protractor partly out of the table slot, loosen

the round knob by about 8 turns and rotate the T bolt

through 90° so it protrudes through the windows in

the strip.
Tighten the knob about 6 turns, then slide the

protractor back along the slot to the required position

and then tighten the knob so that the protractor is

firmly locked in its slot.

CAPTIVE PUSH-STICK & SIDE PRESSURE FINGER
Side Pressure Finger
The side pressure finger is on the inside face of the

protractor and, when extended, presses the workpiece

against the fence on the right hand side of the blade.
The finger can be locked fully retracted or fully

extended, and is released by pressing the tabs and

sliding sideways (Fig 20).
Prepare the protractor for locking (T bolt across the

slot, as per Fig 19) and fully extend the side pressure

finger. Place the workpiece in position against the

fence and adjust the protractor angle until the finger

presses the workpiece against the fence (Fig 20). The

finger should flex a little, but avoid applying excessive

pressure.

Adjust the position of the protractor in the slot until the

finger is about 20mm in front of the blade. Then tighten

the protractor knob, locking both the protractor and the

angle setting.

Captive Push-Stick
The Captive Push-stick (5) slides along the tracks on

the back face of the rip fence. The swing-arm rests

against the front face of the fence and should pivot

freely (Fig 21). The lock direction of the swing-arm can

be reversed, depending on which side of the blade the

rip fence is used.

To change the direction, press the rocker switch firmly

and the other red stop will appear through the face. Use

the stop which allows the swing-arm to pivot towards

the blade, not away from it.
Position the push-stick with the swing arm either

raised up or resting on top of the workpiece in front of

the overhead guard (Fig 22).

As the end of the workpiece passes the captive push-

stick, the swing-arm will drop behind it, allowing you

to push the work through with your fingers clear of the

blade.
When not in use, hang the protractor and captive push-

stick from the storage hooks below the table. The fence
can be stored upside down in its

clamping tracks.
