Prealignment Jig
Assembly Instructions
Contents of Pre-Alignment Jig Package:
- two powder coated leg pieces
- two wood pieces 39 3/8" in length
- wood screws
- two clevis pins with clips
STEP ONE: Place the 2x4 wood pieces on the floor and screw the jig legs to the 2x4 wood pieces using the screws supplied. See next paragraph for leg spacing.
NOTE: There is only one critical dimension in assembly of the jig; the distance between the 3/8" holes on the ends of the jig pieces must be 38 inches. That is the spacing of the holes in the shear frame that the jig attaches to with the clevis pins supplied. Confirm this dimension before screwing second leg to the 2x4.
STEP TWO: With all four corners attached in a square pattern, turn the jig over and attach the legs to the shear frame using the clevis pins supplied
STEP THREE: Place a short piece of sacrifice panel matching the blade profile across the 2x4 pieces and perpendicular to the cutting blade.
Edge of panel should be about half way across the width of the cutting blade.
Cut sample piece square using the shear if you are not using a factory sheared edge. Use carpenter square
STEP FOUR: With panel perpendicular to cutting blade, screw panel to both 2 x 4 pieces to lock in place.
Jig can now be removed or installed quickly by simply pulling the clevis pins out of the mounting holes.
