slide the leading end of the rip fence so it is
even with the center of the main saw blade
as shown in figure 69. note—This technique
allows the finished cut-off piece to "fall" away
from the blade when the cutting operation
is complete; reducing the possibility of kick-
back.
(Blade guard removed for clarity).
lift the lock lever and position the rip fence to
approximately the desired width-of-cut.
tighten down the micro-adjust lock knob
(figure 70) and turn the micro-adjust knob to
zero in on the desired width-of-cut.
