OPERATION
TO ADJUST THE BEVEL INDICATOR
See Figure 50.
If the bevel indicator is not at zero when the saw blade is at
0°, adjust the indicator by loosening the screw and setting
it at 0° on the bevel scale. Retighten the screw.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, always make sure the
rip fence is parallel to the blade before beginning
any operation.
TO USE THE RIP FENCE
See Figure 51.
 Loosen the rip fence by lifting the locking handle.
 Place the rear lip on the rear of the saw table and pull
slightly toward the front of the unit.
 Lower the front end of the rip fence onto the guide surfaces
on top of the front rail.
 With the rip fence flat on the saw table, push the fence
towards the front rail to align the fence to the saw table.
 Push the locking handle down to secure the fence.
Check for a smooth gliding action. If adjustments are needed,
see To Check the Alignment of the Rip Fence to the Blade
in the Adjustment section of this manual.
 Make two or three test cuts on scrap wood. If the cuts
are not true, repeat the process.
NOTE: The rip fence must be secure when the locking handle
is engaged. To increase the grip of the rip fence on the rear
lip of the table, tighten the clamp screw on the rear of the
rip fence by turning it clockwise. Adjust if needed.
