How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This tool is typically used during the cutting and preparation stage of a project. After measuring and marking the material, the guide is positioned and clamped to provide a straight edge for saws or routers. Once cuts are complete, it can also serve as a clamp for glue-up or assembly before final finishing.

How to Use

1. Prepare the Surface:
   • Position your sheet material on a stable workbench. Make sure it is clean and flat. For small trimming tasks place a protective cutting mat beneath your work to protect the bench.
2. Align the Guide:
   • Place the cutting guide where you need a straight edge. Use your measurement markings for accuracy.
3. Clamp Securely:
   • Engage the lever-action jaws to lock the guide in place. Check for firm contact without damaging the surface.
4. Begin Cutting or Marking:
   • Use your tool (jigsaw, router, or saw) against the guide edge to make a controlled pass.
5. Repeat as Needed:
   • For multi-step projects, reposition the guide as required to continue working.
6. After Use:
   • Release the clamps and wipe down any dust or residue to keep the guide in working condition.

Storage and Maintenance Tips

• Store in a clean, dry space to help prevent oxidation of metal parts.
• Wipe down the aluminium track and jaws after each use to maintain function.
• Check clamp mechanisms regularly to keep the action smooth.
