TO CHECK THE ALIGNMENT OF THE RIP
FENCE TO THE BLADE
See Figure 49.
WARNING:
Unplug the saw to prevent
accidental starting.
Raise the locking handle to permit the rip fence to
be moved.
Place a framing square beside the blade and move
the rip fence up to the square. Take the dimension
on the rip scale.
Move the fence back and turn the framing square
180 degrees to check the other side.
If the two dimensions are not the same, loosen the
two screws on the fence and align it.
See Figure 49.
Retighten the two screws.
Make two or three test cuts on scrap wood. If the
cuts are not true, repeat the process.
WARNING:
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.
