Aligning Rip Fence - Craftsman 113.221620 Owner's Manual

ALIGNING RIP FENCE
IMPORTANT: The rip fence MUST be parallel with
saw blade and miter grooves in order to help prevent
KICKBACK of the workpiece when ripping. Careful
adjustment is required.
1. Hold head of rip fence and slide on table until the
edge of the fence lines up with the right miter slot.
2. Turn fence lock knob clockwise to lock fence.
3. If fence does not line up with miter slot front and
rear:
A. Loosen the two hex screws in top of fence.
B. While holding head of rip fence, move rear of
rip fence right or left until edge lines up with
miter slot.
C. Tighten hex screws alternately being careful
not to move fence.

ADJUSTING MITER GAUGE
NOTE: The graduations are manufactured to very
close tolerances which provide suitable accuracy
for average woodworking. In some cases where
extreme accuracy is required, when making angle
cuts, for example, make a trial cut and then recheck
it.
tf necessary, the miter gauge head can then be
swiveled slightly to compensate and then locked.
The HEAD should be SQUARE (90 ° ) with the bar
when the pointer points to "0".
To check for squareness, place an accurate square
on the miter gauge. If the head is NOT SQUARE with
the bar:
1. Loosen the lock handle.
2. Position the head square with the bar.., tighten
the handle.
3. Loosen the screw and adjust the pointer, so it
points to zero.

MOUNTING SAW TO LEGS OR BENCH
If you purchase Craftsman Steel Legs for your saw,
assemble them according to the directions
furnished with them.
If you mount the saw on any other bench, make sure
that there is an opening in the top of the bench the
same size as the opening in the bottom of the saw so
that the sawdust can drop through. Recommended
working height is 33 to 37 in. from the top of the saw
table to the floor.
