ADJUSTMENTS
TO ALIGN AND ADJUST THE RIP FENCE
See Figures 77 - 79.
The rip fence must be parallel with the saw blade and the
miter gauge grooves.
WARNING:
A misaligned rip fence can cause kickbacks and
jams. To reduce the risk of injury, aways maintain
proper rip fence alignment
n Unplug the saw.
n Move the rip fence along side the miter gauge groove
and lock the rip fence in place with the locking handle.
n If the rip fence is not parallel, loosen the four hex head
screws located to each side of the locking handle.
n Place the blade of the combination square in the right
miter gauge groove.
n Slide the rip fence against the blade of the combination
square.
n Alternately tighten the hex head screws. Recheck
alignment.
n Repeat steps as needed until rip fence is correctly
aligned.
The locking lever on the rip fence should hold the rip fence
securely against the front and back rails. The lever should
not be difficult to push down and lock. To assure proper
fence lock adjustment:
n Raise the locking lever and push rip fence toward rear of
saw.
n Hold rip fence down on the front rail while lifting the rear
of the rip fence up and down. Tighten adjusting nut until
the rip fence clamp barely touches the rear rail.
n With the rip fence in the locked position, recheck rip
fence parallelism with the miter gauge groove and adjust
if necessary.
NOTE: If the rip fence does not clamp the same across
the entire length of the rails, the rails may need to be
readjusted adding shims.
