Adjusting the Rip Scale (Fig. G)
1. Unlock the rail lock lever 5 .
2. Set the blade at 0° bevel and move the fence in until it touches the blade.
3. Lock the rail lock lever.
4. Loosen the rip scale indicator screws 33
Retighten the rip scale indicator screws. The yellow rip scale (top) reads correctly only when
the fence is mounted on the right side of the blade and is in position 1 [for 0 to 20" (508 mm)
ripping] [not the 24.5" (622 mm) rip position]. The white scale (bottom) reads correctly only
when the fence is mounted on the right side of the blade and in position 2 [for 4" (102 mm)
to 24.5" (622 mm) ripping].

Anti-Kickback Assembly (Fig. H)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, the anti-kickback assembly must be
in place for all possible cuts.
1. Remove the anti-kickback assembly 12
Refer to Storage.
2. Locate the anti-kickback mounting slot
3. Align the stem 35 with the mounting slot. Depress the stem and push down on the anti-
kickback assembly 12 until it snaps and locks into place.
4. To remove the anti-kickback assembly, depress the stem and pull up and out of the
mounting slot.
With power disconnected, operate the blade tilt and height adjustments through the extremes
of travel and ensure the blade guard assembly clears the blade in all operations and that the anti-
kickback assembly is functioning.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and disconnect
it from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, the saw must be secured to prevent unintended
movement during use.
The table saw must be securely mounted on a stand, workbench or other rigid and stable support
so that the saw does not move while cutting and cannot be overturned by large overhanging
pieces of material. Four mounting holes
to be secured to a stand or other means of support.
1. Center the saw on the desired, stable work surface.
2. Drive four 3-1/2" (88.9 mm) long screws through the holes
the screws extend through the frame and securely attach to the supporting work surface.
nOTE: If marring the supporting work surface is a concern, the table saw can be mounted to
scrap wood which can then be clamped onto the desired work surface.
3. Cut a piece of 3/4" (19 mm) plywood to fit beneath the footprint of the saw.
4. Screw the saw to the plywood and clamp the overhang of the plywood to the work surface. If
the screws protrude through the plywood base, set it on two scrap pieces of material of equal
thickness and attach them to the edges of the plywood to hold the saw further off of the
work surface and prevent the screws from marring the surface.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS


WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and disconnect
it from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
nOTE: This saw is fully and accurately adjusted at the factory at the time of manufacture. If
readjustment due to shipping and handling or any other reason is required, follow the sections
below to adjust this saw.
Once made, these adjustments should remain accurate. Take a little time now to follow these
directions carefully to maintain the accuracy of which this saw is capable.
Rail Lock Adjustment (Fig. G, I)
(Tightening Fence Clamping System)
1. Lock the rail lock lever .

2. On the underside of the saw, loosen the jam nut
3. Tighten the hex rod until the spring on the locking system is more compressed, (not fully
37
compressed) creating the desired tension on the rail lock lever. Retighten the jam nut against
the hex rod.
4. Check that the fence does not move when the lock lever is engaged. If the fence is still loose,
tighten the spring further.

Adjusting Blade Alignment (Fig. A, J)
(Blade Parallel to Miter slot)

WARNING: Cut Hazard. Check the blade at 0˚ and 45˚ to make sure blade does not hit the
throat plate, causing personal injury.
If the blade appears to be out of alignment with the miter slot on the table top, it will require
calibration for alignment. To realign the blade and miter slot, use the following procedure:

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and disconnect
