ALIGNING RIP FENCE
The fence should slide easily along the bars and always
remain in alignment (parallel to sawblade and miter gauge
grooves),
The alignment is maintained by a spring underneath the
fence which bears against the front guide bar.
To move the fence, loosen the lock handle and grasp the
fence with one hand at the front.
