Clean and wax
MAKE CERTAIN you read and follow all directions and
warnings on the cleaner.
.
Clean the front and rear rail with rubbing alcohol or
automotive brake cleaner. Make sure not to get
cleaner on any painted surfaces.
After cleaning,
wax the entire front and rear rail. For models that
have the Micro-Adjustment
assembly, do not wax
the area of the front rail where the rubber wheel
from the micro-adjust contacts.
ADJUSTING RIP SCALE
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
To adjust the right scale, align left fence side (B) at
a distance from the right side (C) of the right miter
gauge groove and lock the fence. See figure 21-1.
Use a measuring tape to measure the distance from
the saw blade right side to the left fence side.
Loosen two screws attaching the cursor (E) to the
right side of fence cross arm. See figure 21-1.
Align cursor with the scale (F) so that the thin black
line (D) is on the same number as the distance
measured in step 4. Tighten the cursor screws.
To adjust the left scale, remove fence from table
and reposition it on left side of saw blade. Align
right fence side at a distance from the left side of
left miter gauge groove and lock the fence.
Use a measuring tape to measure the distance from
the saw blade left side to the right fence side.
Loosen two screws attaching the cursor to the left
side of fence cross arm.
8.
Align cursor with the scale so that the thin black line
is on the same number as the distance measured in
step 6. Tighten the cursor screws.
The rip fence must be properly aligned to the miter gauge
groove in order to prevent "kickback" when ripping.
ADJUSTING RIP FENCE PARALLEL:
1.
To adjust the rip fence parallel to the miter gauge
groove, position the rip fence (B) along the right
side (C) of the right hand miter gauge groove and
lock the fence.
The rip fence should be parallel to
the miter gauge groove.
If an adjustment is neces-
sary, proceed to the next step. See figure 21-1.
2.
Lift the fence handle and slightly loosen hex head
screw (G). Lightly tap on the rear of the fence until
the rip fence is parallel to the miter gauge groove.
Lock the fence and retighten hex head screws.
Unlock the fence and move it side to side. Lock and
recheck it for parallel.
See figure 21-1.
ADJUSTING RIP FENCE SQUARE:
.
.
To adjust the rip fence square to the table surface,
lock the fence in place and place a square on the
saw table and against the side of the rip fence.
If the
rip fence is out-of-square, proceed to the next step.
Unlock the rip fence handle and adjust one or both
set screws (H) to make the rip fence square to the
saw table.
Lock the rip fence handle and recheck.
CAUTION
Keep about 1ram gap between saw table and
bottom of fence. Ten sheets of printer paper are
about 1ram. See figure 21-1.
ADJUSTING CLAMPING PRESSURE:
.
.
After the rip fence is parallel to the miter gauge
groove, check to see if there is adequate clamping
force to hold the rip fence in place. If you can lift
the rip fence up off the front rail while it is locked, it
needs adjusted.
To adjust the clamping pressure of the rip fence,
slightly loosen two hex socket head screws under-
neath fence body (I). To increase clamping pres-
sure turn set screw (J) clockwise; to decrease
clamping pressure turn set screw counterclockwise
and tighten both hex socket head screws.
Note:
Only make small adjustments to set screw (J) and
recheck. See figure 21-1.
