INCRA Pro Fence System User Manual

PRO
Fence System
Mounted to your INCRA JIG, the INCRA PRO Fence System provides a solid, smooth, and flat guide surface for the various cutting operations in your shop. A top-mounted sliding scale and INCRA’s patented saw­toothed racks provide the means for easy and extremely accurate stopped cut setups using the INCRA Stop. Coupled with the added convenience and function of a self-storing Stop Extender Bar with its own sliding scale and variable stop, the INCRA PRO Fence System will add new dimensions to your abilities in the wood shop.

SAFETY
Before using the INCRA PRO Fence System, read and follow all of the instructions and safety information in this manual.
When using the INCRA PRO Fence System in conjunction with any other tool, first read and follow all instructions and safety information in that tool’s owner’s manual.
Use appropriate safety devices. Keep hands clear of the bit or blade. Always use a push stick, rubber soled push block or other safety devices to keep your hands safely away from the cutting tool.
Never let any part of the INCRA PRO Fence System interfere with another tool’s safety guards or other safety equipment.
Never let the bit or blade come into contact with the aluminum body of the INCRA PRO Fence, INCRA Stop or Stop Extender Bar.
Always turn off the power and make sure that the bit or blade is fully stationary before changing the setting of any part of the INCRA PRO Fence, INCRA Stop or Stop Extender Bar.
■ Wear safety glasses, hearing protection and follow all normal shop safety practices.
When using negative fence settings in which the bit is partially recessed in the fence notch, always insure that the bit is centered within the notch.
Do not use any router bit with a diameter greater than 3⁄4" without first mounting a wooden auxiliary fence as detailed on page 8.
■ When using the Stop Extender Bar, make sure that it is securely fastened to the fence with the supplied mounting hardware. When not in use, store the Extender Bar inside the upper T-slot on the Fence and secure in place with the supplied hardware.

Tighten the racks on the INCRA Fence
Begin by tightening the two mounting screws for rack #1, as shown. Next, clamp the INCRA Stop to your fence so that it bridges the gap between the ends of racks #1 and #2 (see Fig. 3), and tighten the mounting screws for rack #2. Now move the INCRA Stop to bridge the gap between racks #2 and #3 and tighten the mounting screws for rack #3. Finally, bridge the gap between racks #3 and #4 and tighten the rack #4 mounting screws. This process aligns the racks so that the INCRA Stop will operate accurately along the entire length of the fence.
