ALIGNING THE RIP SCALE INDICATORS
See Figures 33A - 33B.
The rip scale indicators on the arm show the distance
between the blade and the rip fence. The upper scale
is used when the fence is positioneddirectly behind
the front table. The lower scale is used when the
fence is at the extreme rear, directly in front of the
column.
The in-rip indicator and scale are on the right side of
the arm. The out-rip indicator and scale are on the left
side.
This procedure checks the indicators with the fence at
the beck of the tables directly in front of the column.
The blade should be turned to the in-rip positionto set
the rip scale indicator on the right side of the arm.
Then, the blade should be turned to the out-rip
position to set the rip scale indicator on the left side of
the arm. You will need a framing square.
• If the fence is not at the rear of the tables, place it
there.
•Tum the blade to the in-rip position by loosening
the yoke lock handle, below the arm on the right.
Then pull the yoke pivot latch forward and rotate
the yoke to the in-rip position. This indexes the
yoke 90" so the blade is between the motor and
the column. Lock the yoke lock handle.
• With the elevating handwheel, lower the arm until
the blade just clears the table.
• Loosen the carriage lock knob and guide the blade
back to just touch the fence. Tighten the carriage
lock knob,

• On the right side Of the arm, check the lower in-rip
scale indicator, which should be set on O inches. If
it is not, loosen the screws and shiftthe indicator
until it reads zero. Tighten the screws.
• Loosen the yoke lock handle. Pull the yoke pivot
latch forward and rotate the yoke to the out-rip
position. The blade should be in front of (outside)
the motor and the column,
• Lay the framing square on the table with the short
edge against the fence and with the long side
toward the table front.
Note the distance where the blade contacts the
framing square.
On the left side of the arm on the out-ripscale,
check the rip scale indicatoron the rear fence
position(lower scale). The rip scale indicator should
mark the same number as the distance measured
from the fence to the blade. If it does not, loosen
the screws and shift the scale until the indicatoris
correct. Tighten the screws.
