SAFETY Important safety instructions for using the INCRA TS III. ■ 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.

Rail Hardware Pack Note: Each hardware pack is labeled and bagged separately. Open each pack as it is called for in the instructions to simplify assembly.
PAGE 4
RAIL ASSEMBLY Unplug your table saw and remove the existing fence, including the front and rear support rails, mounting brackets, and the blade guard. FIG. 1 Use appropriate mounting hardware from the Mounting Bracket Hardware Pack to attach brackets (See Details 1A and 1B) Attach rail mounting brackets Note: The blade guard must be reinstalled after you have finished mounting the INCRA TS III to your table saw.
PAGE 5
4 Set final mounting bracket position Clamp the (2) TS III base clamps to the front rail as shown in Fig. 4 and loosen the bolts that secure the mounting brackets to your table saw. The rail and mounting brackets will drop down until the base clamps touch the top of your saw, Fig. 5. This locates the final mounting bracket position. Tighten the bolts that secure the mounting brackets to your table saw. Repeat for the rear rail. FIG. 5 Base clamp Tighten mounting bracket bolts Table saw top FIG.
PAGE 6
BASE MOUNT ASSEMBLY Note: The base support panel used in the base mount assembly is designed for use with table saws having a front to back measurement of up to 28". If your table saw 1 Attach glide pads to underside of base clamps measures greater than 28" a custom cut support panel is available. For details, e-mail us at questions@incra.com or call us at the number listed at the bottom of page 12. FIG.
PAGE 7
5 Align base mount assembly parallel to miter slot FIG. 13 Align base mount assembly parallel to miter slot Take the base mount assembly to the table saw and as you lower the base mount onto the rails, position the (4) clamping knob assemblies directly under the slots in the base clamps. Slide the base assembly along the rails to position the base support panel at 20" from the miter slot, Fig. 13. Take a measurement at both ends of the panel.
PAGE 8
FENCE ASSEMBLY Important: If you have not already done so, read the operations section of your INCRA Jig Ultra owner’s manual (pages 6 and 7) to familiarize yourself with the clamping and micro adjust functions of the Ultra before continuing. 1 2 Loosely attach TS III fence Place a 1⁄ 4" flat washer on each of (2) 1⁄ 4-20 x 1⁄ 2" socket head cap screws and insert the screws through the slotted holes in the back of the fence mounting bracket.
PAGE 9
FINAL CALIBRATION Important: As with any table saw fence, accurate calibration and alignment require that the saw blade be aligned parallel to the miter slots. If you are uncertain about your saw blade/miter slot alignment, consult your table saw’s owner’s manual for information on how to check and set this important alignment. FIG.
PAGE 10
Calibration – Left side of saw blade Moving your TS III to the left side of the blade can be quite useful, especially on table saws which have a blade tilt to the right. This feature makes bevel cuts on opposing edges of a panel safe and easy since the blade tilts away from rather than toward the fence. The setup is easy. Note: If your table saw blade tilts to the left, calibration on the left side of the blade is not necessary.
PAGE 11
BLADE GUARD ADJUSTMENTS If, after reinstalling the blade guard and tilting the motor, you find that the rear rail interferes with the blade guard, you must add the two remaining rail mounting brackets and split the rear rail to provide the necessary clearance as shown in Fig. 26. Begin by removing the base mount assembly. Loosen the bolts that secure the rear rail to the existing brackets and slide the rail off.
PAGE 12
AUXILIARY FENCE MOUNTING For some cutting operations, you may wish to add a wooden auxiliary fence to the front face of your TS III fence. A T-slot is provided for mounting the auxiliary fence using 1⁄ 4 – 20 mounting screws, washers, and square nuts. Drill and counterbore your wooden fence to recess the screw heads and capture the nuts in the T-slot as shown in Fig. 29. Hole centers should be located 1 3 ⁄ 4" from the bottom edge of the wooden fence.
