NOTE: BE SURE TO UNPLUG YOUR SAW
The ProGrip System Saw Base gives you total control for straight-line action. Attaches to your
Saw with fasteners supplied by you depending on the saw plate thickness. This UHMW plastic
base provides smooth long lasting service.
Using The ProGrip Saw Base
The UHMW Saw Base can be use on any length ProGrip Straight edge clamp. The base can be
used on either the right or left side of the clamp to make straight cuts with your saw.
If your Pro-Grip Saw Base comes with locking knobs leave the locking knobs loose enough so
the base will slide smoothly though its full travel.
Saw Mounting Instructions
Step 1
Unplug and remove saw blade from the saw.
(See Figure 1)
Figure 1
Step 2
Flip your saw upside down and place 2” wide masking tape
across both ends of the saw plate to make a marking surface
for the mounting hole locations.
(See Figure 2)
Step 3
The saw will be mounted to the Pro-Grip Saw Base with four
1/4” at head screws (Not Included). The saw base plate will
have to be drilled for these mounting screws. Check both
sides of the saw base plate for clear at areas to drill for the
mounting screws. From the bottom side of the saw base plate
mark the selected areas on the masking tape applied.
(See Figure 3)
Step 4
Using a 1/8”drill bit, drill a pilot hole at each of the four areas marked on the masking tape, then follow with a 1/4” drill
bit to drill the holes to the required size for the 1/4” at head
mounting screws. The 1/8” pilot hole will keep the 1/4” bit
from moving as you drill and give a more accurate hole position.

Step 5
Remove masking tape from the saw base and debur the four
mounting holes drilled in Step 4.
(See Figure 5)
Step 6
Because the super slick UHMW Pro-Grip Saw Base will not
hold ink or pencil marks you will need to place two strips of
2” wide masking tape across the general areas where the saw
mounting holes will be located.
