the "ON" position, you can return it to the "OFF" position without re-installing

TO ADJUST THE WORK CLAMP
Adjust the work clamp to securely hold the workpiece in the tool. Variations in
thickness of work may require you to re-adjust the clamp. The clamp should
"snap" closed and hold the workpiece securely. If the clamp will not close, loosen
it. If the clamp does not hold the work securely, tighten it.
IMPORTANT: When using thin material (between 1/2" and 5/8" thick), use a shim.
Make the shim from 1/8" thick material (plywood or hardboard). The shim should
be approximately the same size as the table top. Firmly clamp the shim to the top
of the table (Fig. 18). Place the thin workpiece on top of the shim, clamp it in place
with the work clamp, and make a pocket cut in normal fashion. NOTE: A slot will
be cut through the shim.

workpiece) to determine when the adjustment is correct.

this position.
