there is an even gap between the bottom of
the fence and the table, then tighten the rail
pad hex nut against the fence to secure the
rail pad in place.

22. Place a straightedge across the table and line
it up over the fence scale indicator line.
23. Move the fence out of the way and carefully
make a pencil mark on the front rail, using
the straightedge as a guide. This mark will be
used to line up the zero mark on the scale in
the next step.

as shown in

inside the channel of the resaw fence, then

24. Carefully install the scale on the front fence
rail, so the 0" mark on the scale lines up with
the pencil mark made in

adjust the position of the front rail slightly in
either direction to increase the accuracy.
This saw creates substantial amounts of fine
dust while operating. Failure to use a vacuum
system can result in respiratory illness.
26. If cutting both wood and metal, connect this
machine to a shop vacuum rather than a
dust collector. Most dust collectors are not
designed to capture metal shavings and
doing so may lead to a fire
from wood dust
contacting hot metal cuttings or sparks from
metal pieces hitting a dust collector impeller.
Mixing wood dust and metal cuttings may
cause a fire. Do not collect metal shavings in
a regular wood dust collector. Instead use a
shop vacuum to collect metal cuttings.
