TigerStop must have a dedicated circuit. No other equipment or devices should be on the same circuit.
WARNING! Do NOT use a high leg delta circuit to power TigerStop.
If you are not sure what kind of circuit you are using, STOP! Have a qualified electrician confirm the main power circuit.
Do NOT drill or tap into the TigerStop beam!
Drilling holes into the TigerStop beam may damage the drive system. All fastening or
attachment to the fence beam must be made by inserting T-bolts or T-nuts with washers.
Do NOT over tighten mounting hardware!
It is critical, especially if not using the TigerStop Universal Attachment brackets, that the
bolts are prevented from over tightening and driving into the fence beam. Always use washers.
ALWAYS evenly tighten mounting hardware!
Uneven tightening of mounting hardware can introduce a slight twist or other deformation in the beam.
This will result in inaccurate measurement and premature failure of the drive belt or other components.
The motor box compartment contains DC voltage with potentially FATAL amperage.

Mounting TigerStop on the Right Side of your Tool
From the factory, TigerStop is built to be installed on the left side of your tool. With very little
configuration, you can install TigerStop to the right side of the tool. The TigerStop has mounting slots on
both the top and the bottom of the beam. The top slots are filled with orange trim strips from the factory.
To mount TigerStop on the right side of your tool, simply remove the orange trim strips from the top
mounting slots, flip the machine over 180 degrees, and mount as normal.

Install Mini GangStop
The Mini GangStop extends the reach of TigerStop so that you can reach the zero point of your tool.
Being able to reach 0 is essential for getting the best material yield when using your TigerStop Dynamic
Optimization feature.
The stop plate at the front of the Mini GangStop can be adjusted, by loosening the bolt, to
accommodate very thin materials or the PVC foot can be removed and the stop plate can be adjusted
to push materials that are stacked up.
1. Attach PVC foot to Mini GangStop stop plate.
2. Slide two T-Nuts into the lower channel of the flip away stop.
3. Connect the two tube retention blocks to the T-Nuts using two cap head screws.
4. Slide the Mini GangStop assembly into the tube retention blocks. Tighten down the locking handles.
