Installation

The pusher miter and front fence extend the front fence from your double miter saw.
Use a straight edge to draw a line on your table, extending the line of the double miter saw fence.
Using a center punch, punch a mark along the line, 2 inches away from the saw’s existing front fence.
From that first mark, punch marks that are 30 inches on center down the length of the table (figure 1).
Using a drill bit, drill out each punch mark.
Mount the front fence (not supplied) using the supplied hardware, as shown in Figure 2).
Note: Ensure the front fence is perfectly parallel to the TigerStop.
Assemble the pusher attachment and mount it to the TigerStop flip away, as shown (figure 3).
Push the TigerStop flip-away carriage until the tip of the pusher is as close to the saw blade as your shortest cut part length (figure 4). Write down this length. This will be the minimum limit of your TigerStop.
Insert the guide block into the end of the front fence. Slide it down so that to the pusher attachment.
Attach the guide block to the pusher attachment (figure 5).
