Setting The Rip Fence Scale Indicator To The Blade; Using The Rip Fence - Performax 240-3605 Operator's Manual

• If the two measurements are not the same, loosen the two M6 x 16 socket head bolts on the fence using a 5 mm hex
key (not included), and then align it.
• Retighten the two socket head bolts.
• Make two or three test cuts using scrap wood. If the cuts are not true, repeat the process.

SETTING THE RIP FENCE SCALE INDICATOR TO THE BLADE

Refer to Figure 35.
Use the indicator on the rip fence to position the fence along
the scale on the front rail.
Begin with the blade at 90° angle (straight up).
• Unplug the saw.
• Loosen the rip fence by lifting the locking lever.
• Place the rip fence on the saw table so that it lightly
touches the right side of the saw blade. Lock the rip fence in
place.
• Loosen the cross-screw using a Phillips screwdriver (not
included) and adjust the indicator so that the red line is located
over the "0" line on the front rail of the right-hand rip scale.
Retighten the screw.
NOTE: The blade guard assembly must be removed to perform this adjustment. Reinstall the blade guard assembly when
the adjustment is complete.

USING THE RIP FENCE

Refer to Figure 36.
• Unplug the saw.
• Place the rear lip of the rip fence on the rear of the saw table
and push it slightly toward the back of the unit.
• Lower the front end of the rip fence onto the guide surfaces on
top of the front rail.
• With the rip fence flat on the saw table, push the fence towards
the front rail to align the fence to the saw table.
• Push the locking lever down to align and secure the fence.
Check for a smooth gliding action. If adjustments are needed,
see the previous section "Checking the alignment of the rip
fence to the blade".
• Make two or three test cuts using scrap wood. If the cuts are
not true, repeat the process.
NOTE: The rip fence must be secure when the locking lever is engaged. To increase the grip of the rip fence on the rear lip
of the table, tighten the clamp screw on the rear of the rip fence by turn it clockwise.
