OWNER’S MANUAL

Please read this owner’s manual before use and
keep it at hand for reference.

Note: The INCRA TS III system consists of three
packages. One of the packages contains the rails

and another, the base mount unit. These two

assemblies are covered fully by this

owner’s manual. The third
package contains the INCRA
Jig Ultra 32. Read all of this
TS III owner’s manual and
pages 2, 3, 6, 7, 18 and 19 of

the Ultra owner’s manual.

In just about an hour or so, you are going to be
operating one of the most exciting new tools in
today’s woodshops. Your table saw will undergo
a transformation, and what was once an average
saw will emerge a precision woodworking
machine, one you’ll be proud of for years to
come. So take a few minutes to read over the

safety information and mounting instructions, then
grab a phillips screwdriver and a set of wrenches
and let’s get started.

■ Before using the INCRA TS III, read and follow all

of the instructions and safety information in this
manual.

■ When using the INCRA TS III in conjunction with

any other tool, first read and follow all instructions
and safety information in that tool’s owner’s manual.

■ Never let any part of the INCRA TS III interfere with

another tool’s safety guards or other safety
equipment.

■ Before using your INCRA TS III, make sure all

mounting screws are tight and that the black
clamping knobs are securely tightened to the rails.

■ Always turn off the power and make sure that the

blade is fully stationary before changing the setting
on any part of the INCRA TS III.

■ Always keep both hands behind the fence when

moving the INCRA TS III to a new setting.

■ Before making a cut, always make sure that the

carriage clamp is fully engaged and that the
rail hook thumbscrew is securely tightened.

■ Use appropriate safety devices. Keep hands clear

of the saw blade! Always use a push stick, rubber
soled push block, or other safety devices to keep
your hands safely away from the saw blade.

■ Never let the saw blade come into contact with

any part of the INCRA TS III or INCRA Jig Ultra.

■ Wear safety glasses, hearing protection, and follow

all normal shop safety practices.

■ Never operate your table saw without a blade guard.

ULTRA Mounting Hardware Pack

INCRA TS III Owner’s Manual 3

Note:

Each hardware pack is labeled and bagged separately.
Open each pack as it is called for in the instructions to
simplify assembly.

INCRA Woodworking Tools & Precision Rules 4

Unplug your table saw and remove the existing fence,
including the front and rear support rails, mounting
brackets, and the blade guard.

Note: The blade guard must be reinstalled after you have
finished mounting the INCRA TS III to your table saw.

Attach mounting brackets

Attach (4) mounting brackets to the cast iron surface

of your table saw using the supplied hardware. See Fig. 1.
The Mounting Bracket Hardware Pack contains a variety of
fasteners which will work with most table saws. Use the
largest bolts in the pack that will fit your saw’s existing
mounting holes. If the holes in your table saw are
threaded, use the bolt/lock washer/washer arrangement
shown in Detail 1A. If the mounting holes are not
threaded, use the bolt/washer/lock washer/nut arrangement
shown in Detail 1B. Position the mounting brackets 1⁄4"
below the table top as shown in Details 1A and 1B and
snug the fasteners to hold the brackets in place. DO NOT
TIGHTEN THE BOLTS AT THIS TIME. (Discard any
remaining fasteners from the Mounting Bracket Hardware
Pack.)

Loosely attach rail bolts

Open the Rail Hardware Pack. Add a 3⁄

8" flat washer

to each of (4)

3

⁄

8–16 x

3

⁄

4" hex bolts. Place the bolts

through the holes in the mounting brackets and loosely
attach the

3

⁄

8–16 rectangular nuts. See Fig. 2 above.

Slide rails onto mounting
brackets and tighten bolts

Carefully slide the rails onto the mounting brackets so that
the rectangular nuts are captured in the T-slot on the bottom
of the rail. Fig. 3 shows the correct orientation for the front
and back rails. Approximately center the length of the rails
on your table saw and tighten the mounting bolts that
secure the rails to the brackets.
