ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid injury from an accidental start, make sure the
switch is in the OFF position and the plug is not
connected to the power source, before making any
adjustments.

tube brackets.
2. Slide the extension tubes in or out to the desired
distance and tighten the two lock knobs (4).
3. Loosen lock knobs (5) and lower the table extension
fence (6) level to the table and tighten the lock knobs
making sure the table extensions are in the out-rip

MITER GAUGE ADJUSTMENT (FIG. O)
1. Make sure that the miter gauge will slide freely
through both table grooves.
2. Loosen the lock knob (1). Set the miter head (3) to
90 °
3. Adjust the pointer (2) to 90 ° on the miter gauge scale.
Note: This miter gauge is designed with positive detents
every 15° for accuracy.

RIP FENCE ADJUSTMENT (FIG. P)
1. The fence (1) is moved by lifting up on the locking
handle (2) and sliding the fence to the desired location.
Pushing down on the handle locks the fence in
position.
2. Position the fence on the table and along one edge of
the miter gauge grooves.
3. Lock the fence handle. The fence should be parallel
with the miter gauge groove.
4. If adjustment is needed to make the fence parallel to
the groove, do the following:
• Loosen the two screws (3) and lift up on the handle
(2).
• Hold the fence bracket (4) firmly against the front of
the saw table. Move the far end of the fence until it
is parallel with the miter gauge groove.
• Tighten both screws and push the handle to lock.
5. If fence is loose when the handle is in the locked
(downward) position, do the following:
• Move the handle (2) upward and turn the adjusting
screw (5) clockwise until the rear clamp is snug. Do
not turn the adjusting screw more than 1/4 turn at a
time.
Over-tightening the adjusting screw will cause the fence
to come out of alignment.
Failure to properly align fence can cause "kickback"
and serious injury.
NOTE: The rip fence and blade are aligned parallel to
the miter gauge groove of the table.

RIP FENCE INDICATOR ADJUSTMENT (FIG. P)
1. The rip fence indicator (6) points to the measurement
scale (8). The scale shows the distance between the
fence and the blade.
2. Measure the actual distance with a rule. If there is a
difference between the measurement and the
indicator, adjust the indicator (6).
3. Loosen the screw (7) and slide the indicator to the
correct measurement on the scale. Tighten the screw
and re-measure with the rule.
