assembly and adjustments
7. Adjusting the Rip-Scale Indicators (Figures 26 --29)
NOTE:
The two rip scales and indicators are
intended only for use in making quick settings.
For maximum accuracy of setting, make direct
measurements between the blade and the rip
fence.
a,
Loosen the yoke clamp handle, hold the swivel
latch pin knob up, swivel the yoke until releasing the
swivel latch-pin knob will allow the yoke to index at
its 90 ° position, then retighten the yoke clamp
handle.
b.
Loosen the carriage lock knob and move the carriage
until the saw blade just touches the rip fence. The
blade should be free to rotate while just scraping the
fence. Tighten the carriage lock knob.
c. Set the right-hand indicator at "0".
NOTE:
With the rip fence positioned at
normal, as in figure 27, the bottom right-side
scale is used to read the saw-blade in-rip
setting. If the rip fence is moved to the
extreme rear position, the top scale is used.

fence is at the extreme rear position. If fence
is at the normal position, the lower left-side
scale is used.

the yoke back to the 90 ° position.
