Woodpeckers Stair Tread & Shelf Gauge creates an instant template for dimension and angle of stair treads, stair risers, built-in shelves or any other surface that is captured on three sides.

ASSEMBLE TRACK SECTIONS

The amount of Track you assemble for any task depends on the rough width of your opening. The two Pivoting Ends take up 5-1/4″ each and you want the adjustable end to have a few inches of travel to expand into your opening. So, subtract 13″ from your rough dimension to give you the amount of track to assemble. Assemble the combination that comes closest to your calculation.
Join the Track 6 or 7 sections by placing a Track Connector 8 half-way between two Track sections and tighten the 2 Connector Locking Bolts with the supplied Allen Wrench. Figure A.
NOTE: One 6″ 7 and four 12″ 6 Track Sections are provided. For maximum adjustment, a 12″ Track Section should always be used on the adjustable end.

ASSEMBLE ADJUSTABLE END:

The adjustable end can be attached to either Pivoting End. Slide the Sliding Connector 3 into the assembled Track. Figure B.
If you want to use the Flip Stop to align the template to your material, remove the Connector Locking Bolt from the Sliding Connector and replace it with the correct Flip Stop (right or left depending on how you are assembling the gauge). Figure C.
Slide the Sliding Connector 3 into the short section of Track attached to the Pivoting End and lock the Flip Stop with the provided Allen Wrench.

ASSEMBLE FIXED END:

If you want to use the Flip Stop to align the template to your material, remove the Connector Locking Bolt from a Track Connector 8 and replace it with the remaining Flip Stop. Slide the Track Connector into the short section of Track attached to the Pivoting End and lock with the Socket Head Screw and the provided Allen Wrench. Figure D.

CREATING AN INSTANT TEMPLATE

Make sure the Flip Stops are up. Figure E.
Align the assembled Track with the back wall of your enclosure. Place the fixed end against the side wall with the Pivoting End freely pivoting.
Extend the adjustable end until the Pivoting End is against the other side wall. Figure F.
Adjust both Pivoting Ends to match their respective walls and lock them with the Locking Knobs.
Confirm both Pivoting Ends are flush to their walls and lock the Sliding Connector.
Lift your Stair Tread & Shelf Gauge template out carefully (tipping one end up on an angle is usually required).

TRANSFERRING SHAPE TO YOUR MATERIAL

Flip the Flip Stops down. Hook them on the edge of your material. Figure G/Figure G-1.
Mark dimension and angle by scribing lines along the two Pivoting Ends.
