ALIGNING THE RIP FENCE AND FRONT RAIL •
The rip fence scale indicator is installed on the right

side of the rip fence but can be removed and rein-

stalled on the left side if needed. If a cutting operation •
requires placing the rip fence on the left side of the
blade, and you find relocating the indicator necessary,

simply unscrew and re-attach it.

• Hook the back of the rip fence over the rear rail. •
See Figure 12. Lowper the front of the rip fence

into the groove on the front rail. See Figure 13.

• Slide the rip fence back and forth. It should move
freely with about 1/16 in. clearance below the rip
fence. If it doesn't, loosen the nuts holding the front

rail and adjust the rail up or down. See Figure 6.

CHECKING RIP FENCE AND.
BLADE ALIGNMENT

The rip fence is self-aligning but should be checked
before first use.

_. WARNING: Failure to align the rip fence to the

blade can cause jams and kickback, resulting in
serious personal injury.

• Slide the rip fence to the miter gauge groove,
which is parallel to blade. Do not lock the rip fence.

• Place a framing square against the blade, with the

long end under the rip fence at the front. See

Figure 14. Note the distance.

• Move the square to the back and measure the

length from other end of the fence. See Figure 15.

• Ifthe distances are different, loosen the four
screws around the rip fence handle with a 6 mm

hex key. Alternate the order (remove the screw

opposite, not next to the first one). See Figure 16.

• Hold the fence handle against the front rail and

align the rip fence with the blade.

• Retighten the screws in alternating order and

check the alignment.

• Repeat until the rip fence is aligned.
