INCRA TS-LS Table Saw Fence - Manual (Page 8)

Important: If you have not already done so, read the
Operations section of your INCRA LS Positioner manual
to familiarize yourself with the clamping and micro adjust
functions of the LS before continuing.
Slide carriage into LS Positioner Base
Slide your LS Positioner’s carriage into the LS Base and
position the fence mounting bracket approximately in line with
the two nearest rail mounting brackets. Lock the carriage in
place. See Fig. 15.
Loosely attach TS-LS fence
Place a 1 / 4 ” flat washer on each of (2) 1 / 4 -20 x 1 / 2 ” socket
head cap screws and insert the screws through the slotted
holes in the back of the fence mounting bracket. Loosely
attach the
1 / 4 -20 square nuts to the screws, then slide the
upper T-slot on the fence onto the square nuts as shown in
Fig. 16. Position the end of the fence nearest to the operator
about 3
1 / 2 ” in front of the table’s edge. Do not tighten the
fence mounting screws at this time.
Attach fence glides
Place one of the supplied 3 / 4 x 3” cardboard spacers
under each end of the fence as shown in Fig. 17 and attach
the two fence glides to the lower T-slot on the rear of the
fence using (4)
1 / 4 -20 x 1 / 2 ” socket head cap screws, 1 / 4 ”
washers and 1 / 4 -20 square nuts. See Detail 17A. The glide
with the black thumbscrew mounts on the operator’s side of
the saw. Align the glides flush with the rails before tightening
the fasteners. Remove and save the cardboard spacers.
Tighten fence mounting screws
Unlock the carriage and slide the fence to within about
4” from the LS base and clamp the carriage in place. Make
sure the fence glides are still aligned flush with the rails,
then tighten the two fence mounting screws. Take care not to
raise or lower the fence mounting brackets as you tighten the
screws.
Engage anti-lift rail hooks
With the carriage clamp still locked, turn the black
thumbscrew on the front fence glide counterclockwise to lower the
rail hook into the T-slot on the rail. Look into the T-slot as you lower
the hook. When the hook passes the lip on the T-slot, slide the black
thumbscrew toward the table saw to position the hook under the lip.
See Fig. 18. Now turn the thumbscrew clockwise to raise the hook.
The hook can be adjusted to limit fence lift by turning the thumbscrew
clockwise.
During cutting operations, always tighten the
thumbscrew in addition to locking the carriage clamp to provide
absolute lockdown of the fence position.
To engage the rear rail hook, walk to the rear of the saw and, using a
3 / 16 ” hex tool, lower the hook into the T-slot on the rail. Slide the
fastener back to position the hook under the T-slot lip, then turn the
fastener clockwise to adjust the lift limit. Allow the fence to lift no more
than
1 / 32 ”. It is not necessary to tighten the rear rail hook before
making a cut.
