Install the rip fence so that the fence holder engages
with the nearmost guide rail.
To secure the rip fence, pivot fully the lever on the fence
holder.
To check to be sure that the rip fence is parallel with the
blade, secure the rip fence 2 - 3 mm from the blade.
Raise the blade up to maximum elevation. Mark one of
the blade teeth with a crayon. Measure the distance (A)
and (B) between the rip fence and blade. Take both
measurements using the tooth marked with the crayon.
These two measurements should be identical. If the rip
fence is not parallel with the blade, proceed as follows:
