Place brackets on bottom rail, securing with 2
screws per bracket (#10 x 1") (Fig. 14). Then,
place brackets on top rail, securing with one
screw per bracket (#10 x 1") (Fig. 15.
Set chop saw to stair angle and carefully cut all four brackets as shown. Be particularly
careful to cut from the proper side of the bracket, depending on your angle. Cut smallest
amount of bracket possible to get the correct angle on bracket (feather to edge).
NOTE:
Make sure bottom of rails are  ush against
saw fence (Fig. 13).
For angles 31º-33° go to Step 12.
For angles 26º-31º and 33º-38º go to Step 10.

The cuts outlined above give you the results below. The angle cut on the rail matches the inside of
the bracket (32°). The bracket outside cut matches the installation angle.
Once the brackets have been cut to the proper angle, remove the screws from underneath the rails
holding the brackets to the rails (from Step 10). This allows the rails to " oat" in the brackets during
assembly.
