A Word About Your New Outfeed Rollers
A unique patented HTC exclusive! A work support that’s always in place
and ready to use. Outfeed Rollers support the workpiece to 4' past the blade.
That’s a full 48" to help balance a full 8' panel. HTC Outfeed Rollers are
compatible with most fence systems on the market and have a patented cam
action adjustment that lowers the Outfeed Rollers 3/8" for proper support
of sliding cross-cut and miter slot fixtures. Folds down easily for compact
storage and swings into place without the use of tools. When you work with
full 4' x 8' panels and extra long boards, HTC Outfeed Rollers let you rip and
cross-cut easily, accurately... but most importantly safer by yourself.

General Safety Rules
The following general safety rules are supplied as an aid for the safe use of many products. This is NOT a complete list of
all possible safety rules. Safe use of a product includes but should NOT be limited to the following safety rules.
1.
For your own safety, read instruction manual
before operating the tool. Know the tool. Read and
understand the owner’s manual and labels affixed to the
tool.
15. Keep guards in place. Be sure that guards, holddowns, and antikickback devices are in working order,
and positioned properly, and are in proper adjustment
and alignment.
2.
Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents and create fire hazards.
3.
Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, bracelets, drawstrings, necklaces,
ornaments, rings, wristwatches, or jewelry of any kind.
They can get caught and pull you into moving parts.
16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form the
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the tool before turning the
tool on.
4.
Avoid dangerous environment. Keep alert to potential
hazards in the working environment. Do not use tool
in situations such as damp or wet locations or in the
presence of highly combustible materials, dust, and
flammable liquids, fumes, vapors or gasses.
5.
Keep children and visitors away. All visitors should be
kept a safe distance from work area.
6.
Wear safety goggles. Wear safety goggles (not
glasses) at all times. All eye protection must comply
with the ANSI Z87.1 standard for eye protection.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses,
they are NOT safety glasses.
7.
Drugs, alcohol, medication. Stay alert. Watch what
you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate
tool when you are tired, upset, ill, or while under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
8.
First aid. Have at least one person with first aid training
and first aid kits approved by American National Red
Cross available at all times.
9.
Fire extinguisher. Familiarize yourself in the use of
portable fire extinguishers. Post the telephone number
of the local fire department. Also develop and know
emergency procedures in case of fire.
17. Cutting tool exposure. Adjust the tool for minimum
exposure of cutting tool necessary to perform the
operation.
18. Direction of feed. Feed work into a blade or cutting
tool against the direction of rotation of the blade or
cutting tool only.
19. Don’t overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
20. Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if
the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally
contacted.
21. Avoid accidental starting. Make sure switch is in the
“OFF” position before plugging in tool. Do not carry a
plugged in tool with finger on switch.
22. Inspect workpiece. Always inspect workpiece to make
sure there aren’t any nails or foreign objects in the part
of the workpiece to be worked on.
23. Plan ahead. Mentally plan ahead to protect your eyes,
hands, body, face and hearing. Do layout, assembly,
setup work, material handling, and planning before
using tool.
24. Disconnect tools. Always turn tool “OFF” and
disconnect the cord from the power source before tool
is serviced or when installing or removing accessories
such as blades, bits, or cutters etc.
10. Smoke Detector. To increase protection against fire,
install smoke detectors. For proper selection and
installation guidelines contact your local fire department.
25. Maintain tools with care. Inspect tool before each use.
It is recommended that the general condition of any tool
be examined before it is used.
11. Use right tool. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a
job it was not designed for. Don’t use tool for purpose
not intended – for example – do not use circular saw for
cutting tree limbs or logs or do not use a lawnmower to
trim bushes or hedges.
26. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a
guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to ensure that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function.
27. Ground all tools. Make sure wiring codes and
recommended electrical connections are followed and
that tool is properly grounded.
12. Don’t force tool. It will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
13. Secure work. Keep hands well away from moving
parts, saw blades, and other cutting tools. Use a push
stick or push block to hold or guide the work when
working close to cutting tool. Use jigs, fixtures, miter
gauge, clamps or vises to hold work when practical.
Use a featherboard when an applicable guard cannot
be used or for added safety. Loose workpieces are a
hazard.
28. Outdoor use extension cords. When tool is used
outdoors, use only extension cords marked “suitable for
use with outdoor appliances – store indoors when not in
use.”
29.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters - (GFCI’s)
provide additional means to reduce serious electrical
shock while using a power tool. They are easily installed
between the power receptacle and the cord. Leakage of
current will shut off the tool, preventing possible serious
injury from electrocution.
14. Never leave tool running unattended. Turn power off.
Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

READ THROUGH ENTIRE INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PROCEEDING
1. Position and mount with tape the enclosed Main Frame Mounting
Template to the rear of Table Saw, as shown in Figure 1. Set the Base
Line (on the template) 3 1/2" below the table top surface of the table saw. Important: Base Line must be parallel with the table top or Outfeed
Roller unit will not work properly.
Figure 2
2. Using a center punch, mark the four (4) mounting holes on the Template.
Drill 1/8" pilot holes to reduce bit wander in sheet metal. Then enlarge
holes by drilling with 11/32" drill to accommodate 5/16" mounting bolts.
Step drills work especially good in sheet metal.
3. Mount the Main Frame A to the saw cabinet using two (2) stud pads B,
along with (2) 5/16"-18 x 1" bolts D, (2) 5/16" - 18 nuts J, (4) 5/16" flat
washers H and (4) 5/16" lock washers I. (Hand tighten only.)
Tip: When installing the stud pads and Main Frame on some machine
models, you’ll need to “hang” the stud through one of the holes, then
rotate the stud pad into position and thread the bolt into place. Usually
the back of the saw cabinet can be reached from the opening on the side
of the saw. On the rare occasions it’s necessary to lay the saw on its
side and feed them in from the bottom. Figure 2.
4. Assemble the Lower Main Frame Bracket to the Main Frame. Mount as
low as is practically possible, for best results. It can be flipped over if
needed. The point is to avoid any interferences on the cabinet.
Important: Do Not Drill the lower holes in the cabinet at this time. 5. Attach the Cams N to the Main Frame using Cam Bolts P and Knobs O
as shown in Figures 3 & 4.

6. Install (1) one of the Pivot Bolts Q into one of the Cams, as shown in
Figures 4 & 5. Then slip the Roller Frame onto this Pivot Bolt. Swing the
Frame into position between the Cams and thread the other Pivot Bolt
into place. Refer to photos to get the correct orientation.
7. Attach the Adjustment Plate L to the underside of the Roller Frame as
shown in Figure 11 using (4) four 5/16" Carriage Bolts M, washers, lock
washers and nuts. Use care to orient the Adjustment Bolt to the ‘front’ as
shown.
8. Pivot Roller Frame out of your way. It can flip over onto the top of the
saw. Attach the Support Arm Assembly K, as shown in Figure 6, to the
bottom of the Main Frame with a Pivot Rod G and (2) two Acorn Nuts.
Figure 5
Note: It is very important to mount the correct end of the Support Arm
Assembly.

9. Pivot the Roller Frame back over and attach the upper end of the
Support Arm to the Adjustment Plate L using a Pivot Rod G and (2) two
Acorn Nuts F.
10. Insert (2) 9 1/2" Rollers into Roller Frame as shown in Figure 7 & 8. Use
thin putty knife (or something similar) to compress the spring loaded axle.
Note: It is very important to install the rollers with fixed end in outside frame.
You are now ready to make the final adjustments to your Outfeed Roller.
11. Lay a straight edge on saw table top extending out to first roller closest
to saw table (Figure 9). Adjust position of Main Frame to bring both ends
of rollers level with saw table top. Table remains folded down — cams
positioned as in Figure 3 & 4. Tighten top Main Frame nuts and bolts.

12. Swing roller section into it’s extended position. Tighten or loosen
Adjustment Bolt to bring outboard rollers level and parallel with saw table
top. Tighten the top leveling bracket mounting bolts Figures 10 & 11.
13. Double check and make sure Roller Section is mounted level with the
saw table top (side to side). Then mark and drill lower mounting holes.
Install (2) 5/16" - 18 x 1" bolts with flat washers through the outside of
the saw cabinet, with flat washers H, lock washers I, and 5/16" - 18
nuts J on the inside. Tighten securely.
Note: Before drilling the lower mounting holes on some saw models you
may find the angled dust pan within the cabinet becomes an obstruction
to proper installation. You may want to adjust the position of Lower Main
Frame Bracket.
14. Measure the approximate distance between the mounting holes on the
Main Frame Bracket.
Figure 9
15. From the inside of the cabin, using the measurement from Step 14,
measure from the top holes down to determine the approximate location
lf lower mounting holes. They may fall above the dust pan, below the pan
or straddle the pan.
16. I f the approximate location of the holes fall above the pan, proceed with
normal installation. If the mounting bolts will fall below the dust pan,
proceed to the next step.
17. If the dust pan is mounted to the cabinet using screws and the stud falls
below the pan, the pan can be removed to complete the installation.
Figure 10
18. If the dust pan is welded in and the holes will fall below the dust pan, the
bolts can be installed from the bottom, by tipping of blocking the saw up.
Use extreme caution when working on the saw from the bottom.
19. Position Cam N so Roller Frame is in the lower position. Make sure miter
gauge guide bar rests level on first roller.
Re-check and tighten all fasteners.

The unique cam-action of the HTC Outfeed Rollers allow the roller surface
to be quickly and easily lowered 3/8" to support the miter gauge bar. This
allows the use of miter or cross-cut boxes or any other sliding miter fixtures
or jigs. The cam-action assures that the rollers remain parallel to the table
saw and that the fully adjustable height mechanism remains in precise
alignment with the table saw surface and miter gauge slot.

How to Fold Outfeed Rollers
The recommended procedure for folding the Outfeed Rollers is to release the
locking mechanism with your foot while holding the roller section firmly with
two hands. (See Figure 14) Make sure there are no workpieces or anything
else on the Outfeed Rollers when folding to the down position. After the
locking mechanism is released, gently fold the Outfeed Rollers down as in
Figure 15.
WARNING: Keep hands and body parts away from pinch points
when folding Outfeed Rollers to down position.
Figure 14
Care and Maintenance
While the HTC Outfeed Roller is designed and built to withstand the everyday
activities of virtually any workshop environment, a few common sense care
and maintenance procedures can help increase the life and enjoyment of
your new purchase. Keeping threaded and hinged parts free from dust
buildup will keep those parts moving as freely as they are intended. Dust
buildup should also be avoided on the axles of the ball bearing rollers
by regular cleaning. A light lubrication (when needed) of the roller axles
and Outfeed Roller hinge in the support arm action is also suggested for
consistent, easy operation. A damp rag is recommended for cleaning the
frame and support arm of your Outfeed Roller.
NOTE: DO NOT hose your Outfeed Roller down with water to clean it.
