Installing Rear Fence Guide Bar - RIDGID TS2412 Owner's Manual

Assembly (continued)

Installing Rear Fence Guide Bar

1. From the bag labeled "Guide Bars" remove only the fol-
lowing hardware:
5 Square Head Bolts, 5/16-18 x 1" Long
5 Lockwashers, 5/16 External Type
5 Flat Washers, 21/64 x 5/8 x 1/16
5 Hex Nuts, 5/16-18
From the fence guide bar carton find the following:
1 Rear Guide Bar (Short)
2. Insert five 5/16-18 x 1" long square head bolts into the
holes as shown.
3. Attach flat washer, lockwasher and hex nut loosely, as
shown, so the bolt head protrudes through the rear
edge of the table and extensions.
4. Slide the rear guide bar slot over each of the square
head bolts, similar to the front guide bar assembly.
5. Position a framing square or straightedge against
either side of the blade. Move the rear guide bar right
or left until the indicator mark is aligned with the
straightedge.
6. Push rear guide bar against the saw table and exten-
sions. Finger tighten each nut on the table and exten-
sions. The guide bars will be aligned and the nuts
tightened at a later time. This procedure will be
checked and probably reset during later bar align-
ments.
7. Shims may be required between the rear guide bar
and saw table or extensions. See instructions for
adjusting rip fence guide bars.
WARNING: Front and rear guide bars must be
aligned with blade. Misaligned guide bars could
twist. Twisted guide bars could misalign fence. A
misaligned fence could cause binding or kickback.
You could be hit or cut.
