7.
slide the leading end of the rip fence so it is
even with the center of the main saw blade
as shown in figure 75. 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 76) and turn the micro-adjust knob to
zero in on the desired width-of-cut.
