Maintenance And Inspection - Jet JTSS-1600 Operating Instructions Manual

The rip fence has a micro adjust feature. Lift the handel (1)
fully and rotate the micro adjust knob (4)
When cross cutting using the parallel fence, to avoid the
wood getting stuck between the fence and the riving knife
(resulting in a highly dangerous kickback) it is necessary to
position the fence so that its end corresponds with the front
of the sawblade. (Fig 35).
Start the machine with precaution.
The rip fence must be parallel to the sawblade and is
adjusted at the factory.
