3. Use a dial indicator or fine ruler to measure
gap between fence and blade.
— If gap between rip fence and main blade
is even at both ends, then fence is parallel
with main blade. No further adjustment is
necessary.
— If gap between rip fence and main blade is
not even at both ends, loosen cap screws
securing fence base to mounting bracket
(see Figure 197), and adjust set screws on
face of bracket until fence is parallel with
blade, then retighten cap screws.
Note: Loosen right-hand set screw and
tighten left-hand set screw evenly to
rotate fence base clockwise. Loosen left-
hand set screw and tighten right-hand
set screw evenly to rotate fence base
counterclockwise.

Distance To Blade
The distance between the rip fence and the blade
must be calibrated accurately to produce precise
cuts. If the width of your cuts does not match
the measurements entered in the control panel,
perform the steps below. Likewise, each time
the main blade is changed, or the fence face is
changed between vertical and horizontal posi-
tions, this procedure should be followed.

Enter 10" on overhead control panel and
press START key.
Once rip fence has moved into position, load
test piece onto table saw.
Prepare test piece by cutting it to 10" wide.
Measure width of test piece.
— If test piece measures 10" wide, then you
are finished with this procedure.
— If test piece does not measure 10" wide,
then rip fence needs to be calibrated.
Proceed to Step 5.
