ALIGNING THE RIP FENCE AND FRONT RAIL
See Figures 22 and 23.
The rip fence scale indicator is installed on the right
side of the rip fence but can be removed and rein-
stalled on the left side if needed. If a cutting operation
requires placing the rip fence on the left side of the
blade, and you find relocating the indicator necessary,
simply unscrew and re-attach it.
• Hook the back of the rip fence over the rear rail.
Lower the front of the rip fence into the groove on
the front rail. See Figure 22.
• Slide the rip fence back and forth. It should move
freely with about 1/16 in. clearance below the rip
fence. If it doesn't, loosen the nuts holding the front
rail and adjust the rail up or down, See Figure 15.

of the blade. When the fence rides smoothly,
tighten all rail hex nuts with a 12 mm wrench.

on the shaft assembly will engage the rack teeth
on the rack and will move the fence assembly left
or right.

fence in place.
