The rip fence is factory adjusted so that it is parallel to the
blade surface. Make sure that it is parallel. To check to
be sure that the rip fence is parallel with the blade, adjust
the blade height with the cutting depth adjusting knob so
that the blade appears at the topmost position from the
table. Mark one of the blade teeth with a crayon. Measure
the distance (A) and (B) between the rip fence and blade.
Take both measurements using the tooth marked with the
crayon. These two measurements should be identical If the
rip fence is not parallel with the blade, proceed as follows:
