Loosen the rip fence clamp handle, position
the leading edge of the fence so it is either
across the full width of the table or (optionally)
even with the center of the main saw blade,
as shown in Figure 101, then re-tighten the
clamp handle.
Note: The rip fence position shown below is
favored by European standards because it
allows the cut-off piece to "fall" away from the
blade when the cutting operation is complete;
thereby reducing risk of kickback from the
backside of the blade catching on tthe railing
corner of the workpiece.
