6. Unlock the LS positioner and slide the base assembly toward the end of the rails. Fully lock

the red lever when the 0mm mark on the steel scale shows under the cursor. This moves the
base exactly 510mm to the right from its original position. (Fig. 2)

7. With the fence still touching both wooden blocks and the base assembly resting naturally on

the rails, tighten the base clamping knobs, and lastly tighten a pair of stop bolts against the
edges of the base clamps that are furthest from the blade. (Fig. 2)


Setting the extended capacity scales

1. Slide the Lexan 1230 - 810mm scale and 820 - 400mm scale into an empty slot in the

carriage so that the ends of the scales overlap.


2. To calibrate the new scale, unlock the carriage and slide the fence until 490mm on the steel

scale shows under the hairline cursor, lock the carriage, and then slide the Lexan scale to
read 1000mm under the cursor. Next, reposition the fence to 190mm on the steel scale, lock
the carriage, and slide the remaining Lexan scale to read 700mm under the cursor.

At any given fence position, the difference in the readings between the steel scale and the
extended capacity scale will always be 510mm, making it easy to spot-check the calibration of
the Lexan scale.


When the setup is complete, you can loosen the base clamping knobs and slide the base
assembly between the two sets of rail stops as needed, enabling you to use the TS-LS in the
0mm to 810mm range with the base assembly

against the “EL” stops and the 510mm to 1320mm

range with the base against the second stops near the ends of the rails. A light coating of paste
wax on the rails periodically will keep everything sliding smoothly.
