4. With fence in its normal position (next to
front table), loosen yoke lock handle, pull
yoke index lever forward and rotate yoke to
the left to index yoke 90° from the cross cut
position. This will locate saw blade between
motor and fence ("In Rip" position). Lock
yoke lock handle.
5. Position carriage until edge of blade,
when spun by hand, just touches front face
of fence. The "In-Rip" scale indicator (on the
right hand side of radial arm) should now
read "0" inches on upper portion of the blade

the indicator until it is aligned with the "0"
mark, then tighten the screws.
Note: With saw blade and fence in the position
shown, the upper portion of blade "In-Rip" scale is
used. If fence is moved to extreme rear position, the
lower portion of blade "In-Rip "scale would be used.
