Rip fence positions can be saved in the database
to make repeat cuts a simple procedure.
As a safety precaution against the rip fence poten-
tially crashing into the blade, travel toward the
blade that occurs within 12" (285mm) of the blade
requires two steps to complete. Press the START
key once to initiate rip fence movement. The fence
will only move part of the distance entered. Then
press and hold the START key to complete the
movement. When fence movement is complete,
the START key will no longer be illuminated.
Maintain awareness of rip fence position at
all times. Do NOT stand between rip fence
and sliding table when rip fence is moving
or serious crushing injury may occur.
Cutting with Rip Fence
The simplest use of the CNC rip fence consists
of using the control panel to enter the width of the
cut you wish to make, pressing the START key to
move the fence to that position, and then making
the cut.
