cam.

shown in Figure 46. Make sure the cam is seated in the
lever.
9. Reassemble the handle to the shaft and cam. Check
whether the lever is now in the desired position. Tighten
screw securely.

WARNING:
Unplug the saw to prevent accidental starting.
1. Raise the locking handle to permit the rip fence to be
moved.
2. Place a framing square beside the blade and move the rip
fence up to the square. Take the dimension on the rip
scale.
3. Move the fence back and turn the framing square 180
degrees to check the other side.
4. If the two dimensions are not the same, loosen the two
screws on the fence and align it.
See Figure 45.
5. Retighten the two screws.
6. Make two or three test cuts on scrap wood. If the cuts are
not true, repeat the process.

Before plugging the saw back in to make test cuts, make
sure the switch is in the OFF position and the blade guard
is in place. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
