ALIGNING THE RIP SCALE INDICATORS
See Figures 33A -33B.
The rip scale indicatorson the arm show the distance
between the blade and the rip fence. The upper scale
is used when the fence is positioneddirectly behind
the front table. The lower scale is used when the
fence isat the extreme rear, directlyin front of the
column.
The in-rip indicator and scale are on the rightside of
the arm. The out-rip indicator and scale are on the left
side.
This procedure checks the indicators with the fence at
the beck ofthe tablesdirectly in front of the column.
The blade should be turned to the in-rippositionto set
the rip scale indicatoron the rightside ofthe arm.
Then, the blade shouldbe turnedto the out-rip
positionto set the ripscale indicator on the left side of
the arm. You will need a framing square.
• If the fence is notat the rear ofthe tables, place it
there.
•Tum the blade to the in-ripposition by loosening
the yoke lock handle, below the arm on the right.
Then pull the yoke pivotlatch forward and rotate
the yoke tothe in-ripposition. This indexesthe
yoke 90" so the blade is between the motorand
the column. Lockthe yoke lock handle.
• With the elevating handwheel, lower the arm until
the blade just clears the table.
• Loosenthe carriage lock knob and guide the blade
back to just touch the fence. Tighten the carriage
lock knob,

edge againstthe fence and with the long side
towardthe table front.
Note the distance where theblade contactsthe
framing square.
On the leftside of thearm on the out-ripscale,
check the ripscale indicatoron the rear fence
position(lower scale). The ripscale indicatorshould
markthe same number as thedistance measured
fromthe fence to the blade. Ifitdoes not,loosen
