ADJUSTING RiP FENCE PARALLEL:
1. To adjust the rip fence parallel to the miter gauge
groove, position the rip fence (B) along the right
side (C) of the right hand miter gauge groove and
lock the fence. The rip fence should be parallel to
the miter gauge groove. If an adjustment is neces-
sary, proceed to the next step. See figure 17-1.
2. Lift the fence handle and slightly loosen hex head
screw (G). Lightly tap on the rear of the fence until
the rip fence is parallel to the miter gauge groove.
Lock the fence and retighten hex head screws.
Unlock the fence and move it side to side. Lock and
recheck it for parallel. See figure17-1.
ADJUSTING RiP FENCE SQUARE:
To adjust the rip fence square to the table surface,
lock the fence in place and place a square on the
saw table and against the side of the rip fence. If
the rip fence is out-of-square, proceed to the next
step.
2. Unlock the rip fence handle and adjust one or both
set screws (H) to make the rip fence square to the
saw table. Lock the rip fence handle and recheck.
CAUTION: Keep about lmm gap between saw table
and bottom of fence. Ten sheets of printer paper are
about lmm. See figure 17-1.
ADJUSTING CLAMPING PRESSURE:
2,
After the rip fence is parallel to the miter gauge
groove, check to see if there is adequate clamping
force to hold the rip fence in place. If you can lift
the rip fence up off the front rail while it is locked, it
needs adjusted.
To adjust the clamping pressure of the rip fence,
slightly loosen two hex socket head screws under-
neath fence body d). To increase clamping pres-
sure turn set screw (J) clockwise; to decrease
clamping pressure turn set screw counter-clockwise
and tighten both hex socket head screw. Note:
Only make small adjustments to set screw (J) and
recheck. See figure 17-1.

REAR HOLD DOWN:
To minimize the amount the rear of the fence (K) comes
off the saw table, simply flip down the rear hold down
(L) so that it is under the rear rail. This limits the
amount that the rear of the fence will lift.
TABLE INSERT ADJUSTMENT
MAKE CERTAIN the table saw is disconnected from
the power source.

2,
The table insert (A) must always be level with the
saw table (B). To adjust the table insert, loosen
and remove table insert retaining bolt (C). See fig-
ure 18-1.
Place a straight edge across the front and rear of
the table insert. Check that the insert is perfectly
level with the saw table.
3. To level the table insert, turn the one or more
adjusting set screws (D) as needed and recheck.
See figure 18-1.
4. Once the insert is level, secure the insert with the
retaining bolt removed in step 1.
5. The table insert is equipped with a finger hole (E)
for easy removal. See figure 18-1.
