A locator for locating and holding a structural member in engagement with an adjacent structural member at a predetermined position of an assembly apparatus during a truss assembly operation. The locator includes a stop configured for engaging the structural member. A securing device includes a body operatively connected to the stop and a holding member movable relative to the body between an extended position for engaging the assembly apparatus to hold the securing device at a fixed position on the assembly apparatus and a retracted position to release the securing device and enable moving the locator to a different location. The securing device includes a hand-operable actuator for manually moving the holding member between the extended and retracted positions.
