SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR RIP FENCE SYSTEMS
1. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS in your table saw manual regarding
the proper installation and use of your table saw.
2. USE THE SAW blade guard, spreader and anti-kickback pawls for
any thrusawing (whenever the blade comes through the top of the
workpiece). Make sure the pawls work properly and that the
spreader is perfectly aligned with the saw blade.
3. USE EXTRA SUPPORTS (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.) for any
workpiece large enough to tip when not held down to the table top.
4. TO AVOID kickbacks and slips into the saw blade, make sure the
fence is parallel to the saw blade.
5. MAKE SURE there is no debris between the workpiece and its
supports.
6. AVOID HAND POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause fingers
and hands to move into the saw blade or other cutting tool(s).
7. PUSH THE WORKPIECE against the rotation of the saw blade.
NEVER feed material into the cutting tool from the rear of the table
saw.
8. KEEP YOUR FACE AND BODY to one side of the saw blade, out
of line with a possible kickback or throwback.
9. NEVER use the mitre gauge when ripping or in combination with the
fence.
10. NEVER use the fence when crosscutting.
11. TOAVOIDINJURY from accidental starting, unplug the saw, turn
the switch off and remove the switch key before raising or removing
the blade guard, changing any cutting tool, changing the set-up or
adjusting anything.
12. USEAPUSHSTICK whenever the fence is 2 inches or less from
the saw blade. When thru sawing, use an auxiliary fence and push
block whenever the fence must be between 1/2” and 2” from the
saw blade. NEVER thru saw rip cuts less than 1/2” wide.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
INSTALLING FRONT RAIL AND TUBE ASSEMBLY
Place and align the mounting holes of the front rail and tube assembly (A) Fig.1 with the holes in the front lip of the table (C) and extension wings (D & E). Install the front rail and tube assembly to the
table and extension wings using 4 countersunk head bolts, 4 washers, 4 spring washers and 4 hex. nuts.
Before securing it in place, adjust it up or down to ensure the front
rail edge is set at 1/8” below the lowest edge of the miter gauge
T-slot. Once adjusted, tighten all 4 countersunk head bolts.
INSTALLING REAR RAIL
Place and align the mounting holes of the rear rail (B) Fig.1 with the
holes in the rear lip of the table (C) and extension wings (D & E).
Install the rear rail to the table using 2 cap screws, washers, and
spring washers.
Then use 2 cap screws, 4 washers, 2 spring washers and 2 hex.
nuts to fix the rear rail to the extension wings. Before securing it in
place, adjust it up or down to ensure the rear rail edge is set flush
with the lowest edge of the miter gauge T-slot (to allow free
movement of the miter gauge). Once adjusted, tighten all 4 cap
screws.
FIGURE 1
ADJUSTING RIP FENCE
The rip fence must be perfectly aligned with the table T-slot. To verify this, place rip
fence on table and align the edge of the rip fence with the table T-slot, lower the
locking lever (A) Fig.2 to lock it into place. Check to see if the edge of the rip fence
and the table T-slot are parallel. If they are not parallel, unlock the rip fence and turn
it upside down as shown in Fig.3. Adjust the set screws (A) Fig.3 in or out, verify your
adjustment, repeat if necessary.
The lock lever pressure can be adjusted by loosening the front lock nuts (B) Fig.2
and adjusting the set screws (C) the same amount. Make sure the fence remains
parallel with the table T-slot. If you turn a set screw one full turn, it is necessary to
adjust the other set screw one full turn. Retighten lock nuts.
To set the fence perpendicular to the table, place a square on the table and against
the side of the fence, loosen the top lock nuts (D) and adjust the set screws (E) until
the fence is perpendicular. Retighten lock nuts.
The pointer window (F) Fig.2 position can be adjusted if needed, loosen round head
allen screws (G), reposition the pointer window and retighten round head allen screws.

ASSEMBLY, ADJUSTMENTS
& OPERATION
INSTALLING MEASURING TAPE ONGUIDETUBE
Caution! Only proceed with the following step once the rip fence system has been
adjusted and that the fence is set perfectly parallel with the saw blade. See “Adjusting
Rip Fence” section on the previous page for instructions.
Slide the fence against the saw blade. Place the measuring tape on the tube (A) Fig.1
under the pointer window (A) Fig.4. The pointer window contains 2 small red lines
which represent the thickness of the blade kerf, line up the zero mark of the measuring
tape underneath the red line on the left side. Make sure the measuring tape is
positioned perfectly parallel to the tube and that the measurements are clearly visible.
Remove the fence. Peel away a small portion at a time of the measuring tape backing
and carefully apply it to the tube. We suggest taking your time during this installation,
if a mistake is made and the zero mark does not align perfectly, you can loosen the
pointer window screws (B) Fig.4, reposition the pointer window in the correct position
and retighten the screws.
INSTALLING MAGNETIC SWITCH TO FRONT RAIL
If your King cabinet saw comes with a magnetic safety switch (A) Fig.5 and is
attached to a mounting bracket (B), mount the mounting bracket underneath the left
end of the front rail (C) using 2 cap screws, washers and spring washers.

USING DUO-FENCE DUAL-POSITION ALUMINUM FACING
This rip fence system comes with an adjustable aluminum facing (A) Fig.6 & 7 which
can be positioned in the “high” or “low” position depending on the cutting operation.
Fig.6 shows the aluminum facing positioned in the standard “high” position.
When ripping narrow or thin stock, it is recommended to reposition the aluminum
facing in the “low” position as shown in Fig.7. Installing the aluminum facing in this
position will allow your hand to have a safe place to pass. To change the orientation
of the aluminum facing, follow these instructions:
1) Loosen the 3 lock knobs (B) Fig.6.
2) Slide the aluminum facing forward until the 3 T-bolts (A) Fig.8 exit the T-slot (B) in
the aluminum facing, remove aluminum facing.
3) Turn the aluminum facing sideways to the low position as shown in Fig.7. Use the
low position T-slot (C) Fig.8 to remount it to the fence body.
4) Insert one T-bolt at a time into the low position T-slot as you slide the aluminum
facing against the fence body, once positioned retighten lock knobs (B) Fig.7.

& PARTS DIAGRAM
USING ALUMINUM GUIDE AS A STOP FOR REPETITIVE CUTS
The aluminum guide (A) Fig.9 can be used as a stop when setting up and cutting
repetitive cuts.
1) Loosen the 3 lock knobs which lock the aluminum guide to the rip fence (B-Fig.6).
2) Slide the aluminum guide (A) Fig.9 towards you. For example, if your workpieces
are 10” wide, position the front end (B) of the aluminum guide slightly over 10”
away from the front of the blade (C).
3) Once adjusted, secure the aluminum guide by tightening the available lock knob(s),
remove unused T-bolts and lock knobs. Set the rip fence position so it is the correct
distance from the blade.
4) Slide the miter gauge (D) Fig.9 into the T-slot in the table, place the workpiece up
against the miter gauge (D) and the aluminum face (A).
5) The aluminum guide is now set-up to serve as a guide to feed the workpiece towards the blade. Once the workpiece is pushed past and clears
the front end of the aluminum guide (B), the cut then begins, avoiding any chance of the workpiece binding up against the aluminum guide.
Important! Never feed and cut a workpiece using the miter gauge while supported by the rip fence or the aluminum guide, risk of binding and
workpiece kickback. It is very important that once the blade starts cutting the workpiece, that only the miter gauge touches the workpiece.
