BEFORE BEGINNING Identify and verify that you have all the parts listed in the parts list above, plus the parts shown on this page. Read through the instructions at least once before beginning. You'll need a #2 & #3 Phillips screwdriver for assembly. The Super Sled is designed to be used on a table saw at least a 27" deep with a 3/8" x 3/4" miter slot that's between 4-1/2" and 7-1/2" from the blade, measured from the blade side edge of the slot. It can be used in the left or right miter slot. Do not attempt to use on table saws with tables smaller than 27". If necessary, add additional supports to your saw to prevent the saw from tipping. For the Super Sled to work properly, the miter slot of your saw must be parallel to the saw blade. If this is not the case, make those adjustments to your saw before proceeding.

Crosscut Setup: The Super Sled rides in the miter slot of the saw. Follow the instructions that come with

the Jig Bar (4924B), install the hardware in the bar and adjust the bar to fit the left or right miter slot you've elected to use. These directions show the left miter slot being used. Lower the saw blade below the saw table. Place the Jig Bar, with the countersunk holes facing down, in the miter slot. There are two sets of bar mounting holes in the Sled Base (4965B). One set is for crosscut work (Slots in Sled Base are parallel to miter slot.) and the other set is for taper work (Slots in Sled Base are square to miter slot.). See fig. 1 & 2 Setup for crosscut work: Align the crosscut bar mounting holes in the Sled Base with the threaded holes in the Jig Bar, positioning the Sled Base over the bar so that it doesn't overhang the cutting path of the saw blade by more than 1/2". Attach the Jig Bar to the Sled Base with the 1" flat head screws (MF010) included in the 4924B hardware. After mounting the Jig Bar to the Sled Base, recheck the fit of the Jig Bar in the miter slot, making sure it slides smoothly but without slop. Raise the blade, turn the saw on and cut off the crosscut edge of the base overhanging the saw blade (This should be no more than 1/2"!), guiding the bar/base assembly in the miter slot. Turn the saw off, disconnect the power and lower the blade below the saw table. MF010 x4

Taper Setup: Lower the saw blade below the saw table. Place the Jig Bar, with the countersunk holes facing down, in the miter slot.

There are two sets of bar mounting holes in the Sled Base (4965B). One set is for crosscut work (Slots in Sled Base are parallel to miter slot.) and the other set is for taper work (Slots in Sled Base are square to miter slot.). See fig. 1 & 2Align the taper bar mounting holes in the Sled Base with the threaded holes in the Jig Bar, positioning the Sled Base over the bar so that it doesn't overhang the cutting path of the saw blade by more than 1/2". Attach the Jig Bar to the Sled Base with the 1" flat head screws (MF010, in the 4924B hardware). After mounting the Jig Bar to the Sled Base, recheck the fit of the Jig Bar in the miter slot, making sure it slides smoothly but without slop. Raise the blade, turn the saw on and cut off the crosscut edge of the base overhanging the saw blade (This should be no more than 1/2"!), guiding the bar/base assembly in the miter slot. Turn the saw off, disconnect the power and lower the blade below the saw table. When switching between crosscut and taper setups, leave the bar in the miter slot to insure it's always remounted in its original position.

FENCE BRACKET ASSEMBLY The vertical fence configuration is normally used for crosscuts. Insert two 5/8" screws (MF006) thru the countersink holes in the Fence Brackets (4965C) and start an oval nut (5760B - flat side first) on the end of each screw. Slide the Fence Brackets on to the T-slot in the edge of each Track Bracket (4965D), position the narrow end of the Fence Bracket even with the end of the Track Bracket and tighten the screws. See fig. 3

Install a washer (WS002) and a 1/8" spacer (BUSH001) on the ratchet handles (5864). Insert the stud of the ratchet handle thru the hole of the Track Bracket. Set each Track Bracket on the Sled base so the wide end of the Fence Brackets are towards each other. Insert the stud of the ratchet handle thru the slot in the Sled Base. Place a square nut (NUT025) in the recess in the underside of the Sled Base and screw the ratchet handle into the nut. See fig. 3-4

Crosscut Fence Setup: The vertical fence configuration is normally used for crosscuts. Insert a 1" bolt (HB030) thru

the hole in each of the Fence Brackets, install a washer (WS002) and a knob (5540) on the end of each bolt. Slide the the 32" Fence (4965A) on to the bold heads and tighten the knobs. Assemble the Flip Stop (4519) according to the directions that come with it and attach it to the top T-slot of the Fence.See fig. 3-4

INSTALL INBOARD CLAMPS Assemble the two Inboard Clamps (6305IC) according to the directions that come with them and attach each to an Outboard Clamp Bracket (6305A). Insert a washer (WS002) on the 1-1/2" screws (MP150), insert the screw thru the hole in the Outboard Clamp Bracket, place a square nut (NUT025) in the recess in each slot in the underside of the Sled Base and tighten the screw into the nut.

FENCE INSTALL FOR TAPERS The horizontal fence configuration is normally used for tapers. Install a washer (WS002) and a 1/8"

spacer (BUSH001) on the ratchet handles (5864). Align the slots in the 32" Fence (4965A) with the slots in the Sled Base. Insert the stud of the ratchet handle thru the slot of the Fence and the Sled Base. Place a square nut (NUT025) in the recess in the underside of the Sled Base and screw the handle into the nut. See fig. 6 Insert a 1" bolt (HB030) in the desired T-slot in the Fence, then a 5/8" spacer (BUSH004) and a handle (5590) on the end of the bolt. Position the handle where desired on the Fence and tighten. See fig. 6 Insert two 1/4" spacers (BUSH002) on a thumb screw (5505) and start an oval nut (5760B - raised side first) on the end of the thumb screw. Slide it on to the T-slot on the edge of the fence, position it near the end of the fence for now and tighten. This will serve as a work Stop. See fig. 6 inset Assemble the two Inboard Clamps (6305IC) according to the directions that come with them and attach them to the front or center T-Slot of the Fence. See fig. 6

SLED OPERATION: Be sure to observe all safety precautions when using the table saw. The cut-off from your work can be thrown by the

table saw blade as it falls to the table. To help prevent this, clamp a 3/4" thick board on the opposite side of the blade. By placing the Index Pins (4965PA) in the appropriate indexing holes engraved in the Sled Base, you can set Fence angles of: 0º, 15º (12 sides), 22-1/2º (8 sides), 30º (6 sides), 36º (5 sides) & 45º (4 sides). There are non-engraved indexing holes directly opposite the engraved indexing holes that are the same angle, only in the opposite direction. If necessary, a spacer (supplied by you) can be placed between the pins and the fence to place the fence in a better position. In addition, there are four holes that serve as parking spots for the Index Pins. Other angles can be set using our optional 3690 Mite-R-Gage or a similar device. See fig. 7 The fence can be used at the rear of the work (fence closest to operator, shown in drawings) or in front of the work (fence furthest away from operator, not shown). In both cases the toggle clamps/brackets should be positioned opposite the fence, with the work between the fence and clamps.

USING THE SUPER SLED FOR CROSSCUTS After setting the Fence angle, place the work on the Sled Base, butted against the Fence and the Flip Stop. Slide the

Outboard Clamp Brackets/Toggle Clamps against the opposite side of the work. Tighten the Outboard Clamp Brackets to the Sled Base, then tighten the Toggle Clamps on the work using medium pressure. Do not over tighten! Make the cut, being sure that the work is not touching the blade before starting the cut.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES The 6305R Riser Kit increases the capacity of the toggle clamps to 2-3/4" thick stock. The 3690 Mite-R-Gage is a handy tool for setting odd angles not covered by the indexing holes in the Super Sled. The 789S

Flip Stop is available for use with the Horizontal fence.

USING THE SUPER SLED FOR TAPERS Set the Fence to the desired taper or angle. This is done by lining up the cut lines on your

work with the cut edge of the Sled Base, which is also the cut line of your saw. Position the fence against the opposite side of the work and tighten. Adjust the Stop against the end of the work. Position the handle and toggle clamps on the Fence where desired. Tighten the toggle clamps on the work using medium pressure. Do not over tighten! Make the cut, being sure that the work is not touching the blade before starting the cut.
