Woodhaven 4950: Half Cut-Off Sled - Manual (Page 2)

MOUNT THE MITER BARS TO THE MDF BASE
Prepare the Miter Bars according to the instructions
that come with them, using the hardware included.
The Cut-Off Sled can be setup for use in either miter slot. We
suggest you mount it in the miter slot you normally use your miter
gauge in. Place the miter bars (4918B) with the countersunk holes
facing down, in the miter slot. There are mounting holes for the
miter bars in the MDF base (4951D). Align the mounting holes
in the MDF base with the threaded holes in the bars. Position the
base over the bars so that it overhangs the cutting path of the
saw blade by 1/2" or less. Attach the bars to the base with the
1" screws. The bars will overhang the base approximately 2" at
each end. Re-check the fit of the bar/base assembly, making sure
it slides smoothly, readjusting the plugs as necessary. See fig. 1.
Turn the saw on and cut off the overhanging edge of the
base (This should be no more than 1/2"!), guiding the bar/base
in the miter slot, past the saw blade. Turn the saw off, disconnect
the power and lower the blade on your table saw completely.
MOUNT THE FENCE
The Ultra Track fence (4424) fits in the shallow groove
of the MDF base. Insert four 3/4" screws (MF010) thru the
countersunk holes in the MDF base and start oval nuts (5760B
- raised side first) on the ends of the screws. Slide the 24" Ultra
Track in to the groove in the MDF base and on to the oval nuts.
Position the end of the track flush, or a little back, from the cut
edge of the MDF base and tighten the screws. See fig. 2.
Attach the 24" Sub-Fence (4951C) to the upper T-slot in
the Ultra Track using the oval nuts (5760B) and 3/4" screws
(5771B). Attach the 24" Tape (3724R) to the top of the Sub-Fence.
Attach the Straight Flip Stop (4951S) to the top of the
fence following the instructions that come with it. See fig. 3
USING THE CUT-OFF SLED
The Cut-Off Sled can be used for cut-off or dado work. With
the Cut-Off Sled mounted on your table saw, slide it back and forth
to determine at what point it starts tipping off the front and back
edge of the saw table. Make reference marks on the MDF base at
these points. During use, do not go past these marks unless you
have additional support on the saw table, or you are capable of
supporting the Cut-Off Sled (and any workpiece) by yourself.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Optional 36" or 48" Ultra Tracks (4436 or 4448) are
available if you need extra fence length, or you can get the 4536
Track Connector and an extra length of Ultra Track to connect
to the end of the 24" Ultra Track and extend it. Either of these
options will increase the weight and bulk of the Cut-Off Sled.
Optional 500 lb. Toggle Clamps are available in two
different models. One attaches to the MDF base (Outboard
Toggle Clamp 4951OC) and one attaches to the top of the
Ultra Track fence (Inboard Toggle Clamp 4951IC). See
fig. 3 (shows Toggle Clamps on the 4951 Cut-Off Sled)
