To prevent personal injury, always disconnect
!
WARNING
plug from power source before making any
adjustments. The rip fence must be parallel with the SAWBLADE
in order to prevent KICKBACK when ripping.
Your table saw is equipped with a Self-Aligning, Quick-Set rip
fence. Once the adjustments below have been made, the rip
fence will self align when the fence is locked into position.
NOTE: The blade must be parallel with the miter gauge slots
(see page 36) and be perpendicular to table before proceeding
with rip fence alignment.
To prevent personal injury, always make sure
!
WARNING
the rip fence is locked before making rip cuts.
1. Lift both guard barriers 2 to their up locked position.
2. Raise lock handle 1 and slide fence 3 until it is alongside the
sawblade, by lifting right side pawl 4 above fence (Fig. 23).
The fence should touch the blade teeth at the front and rear of
the blade. If fence does not touch the teeth at front and rear of
blade continue with the following the steps:
3. Loosen the two screws 5 on the top front section of the rip
fence using the included 5mm hex wrench.
4. Move fence 3 until it touches the teeth and is parallel to the
blade.
5. Hold fence in place and lower lock handle, check to make sure
the fence stayed parallel to the blade then tighten screws (Fig.
23).
6. Clamp rip fence to check if it holds securely at front and rear. If
rear is not clamped securely, unclamp fence and turn rear
clamp adjustment screw 6 clockwise for increased clamping.
Try clamping the fence to verify if it self aligns and clamps
tightly at the front and rear. Overtightening of the rear clamp
adjustment screw 6 will cause the rip fence to be non-self
aligning (Fig. 23). Overtightening may cause friction or
"chatter" when fence is moved side to side.

Rip Fence Pointer Adjustment

The distance of the rip fence body from the blade when ripping
on the right side of the blade is determined by lining the pointer 7
with the desired dimension on the scale 8 (Fig. 24).
To set the rip fence pointer:
1. Lift both guard barriers 2 to their up locked position (Fig. 23).
2. Raise lock handle 1 and slide fence 3 until it is alongside the
sawblade, by lifting right side pawl 4 above fence (Fig. 23).
3. Loosen pointer adjustment screw 9, adjust pointer 7 to "0"
mark on lower scale 8, then re-tighten screw 9 (Fig. 24).
