ADJUSTMENTS
If the distances are different:
 Loosen the four screws on the rip fence.
 Adjust the rip fence.
 Alternately retighten the screws. Recheck alignment.
 Repeat steps as needed until rip fence is correctly aligned.
 Replace blade guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback pawls.
 Make two or three test cuts on scrap wood. If the cuts
are not true, repeat the process.
NOTE: The rip fence must be secure when the locking handle
is engaged. The clamp screw on the rear of the rip fence is
tightened by turning clockwise to increase tightness of the
rear of the rip fence. Adjust if needed.
TO ADJUST THE RIP FENCE INDICATOR
See Figures 78 - 79.
The rip fence has two indicators: one for use when the rip
fence is on the right side of the saw blade and one for use
when the rip fence is on the left side of the saw blade.
NOTE: The blade guard assembly must be removed to
perform this adjustment. Reinstall the blade guard assembly
when the adjustment is complete.
 Unplug the saw.
 Place the rip fence on the saw table so that it lightly
touches the right side of the saw blade. Lock the rip fence
in place.
 Loosen pan head screw and adjust the right indicator so
that the red line is located over the "zero" line on the right
rip scale on the front rail. Retighten screw.
 Reposition the rip fence on the saw table so that it lightly
touches the left side of the saw blade. Lock the rip fence
in place.
 Loosen pan head screw and adjust the left indicator so
that the red line is located over the "zero" line on the left
rip scale on the front rail. Retighten screw.
 If the indicator cannot be set to zero after performing the
adjustments described above, the position of the rail must
be adjusted. See Installing the Rails Onto the Saw Table
earlier in this manual.
The rip fence should sit at 90º to the top of the saw table.
If an adjustment is needed:
 Set a framing square on the saw table next to the rip
fence.
 Use a flat head screwdriver to loosen or tighten one of
the angle adjustment screws.
 Adjust the screws until the angle measures 90º on each
side of the rip fence.
