Rip Fence Alignment Adjustment

WARNING: A misaligned fence can cause kickbacks
and jams. To reduce the risk of injury, follow these
instructions until the fence is properly aligned.
The rip fence must be PARALLEL with the sawblade
and miter gauge grooves. Clean any debris off the fence
guide bars. Move fence until it is along the side of the
right miter gauge groove and lock it. It should be parallel
to groove. If it is not:
a. Unlock fence.
b. Loosen the four hex head screws located to each side of
the rip fence handle.
c. Place the blade of the combination square in the
right miter gauge groove as shown.
d. Slide the fence against the blade of the combination
square as shown. Carefully lock the fence in this
position.
e. Alternately tighten the hex head screws.
f. Recheck alignment.
g. Repeat steps as needed until rip fence is correctly
aligned.

Rip Fence Lock Lever Adjustment

The rip fence lock lever, when locked down, should hold
the rip fence securely. The lever should not be difficult to
push down and lock.
To assure proper fence lock adjustment:
a. Raise lock lever and push fence head toward rear of
saw.
b. Hold fence head down onto front guide bar while lift-
ing rear of fence up and down.
c. Tighten adjusting nut until fence clamp just barely
touches rear guide bar.
d. This should provide the best fence adjustment pos-
sible without over tightening.
