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.
• If the 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.
