rear end of the rip fence, then loosen
the screw counterclockwise two or three
turns.
Loosen the
two
bolts on the top of the
rip fence with the wrench.

it
becomes
parallel with the blade, then secure
it
by
tightening the bolts.
Tighten the screw in the hole in the rear
end of the rip fence clockwise
