TO CHECK THE ALIGNMENT OF THE RIP
FENCE TO THE BLADE
See Figure 55.
The rip fence must be parallel to the saw blade and the miter
gauge grooves.
WARNING:
A misaligned rip fence can cause kickbacks and jams.
To reduce the risk of injury, always maintain proper rip
fence alignment.
 Unplug the saw.
 Remove the blade guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback
pawls. Raise the blade by turning the height/bevel adjust-
ing handwheel.
 Verify the blade is parallel to the miter gauge groove as
described in the Adjusting the Blade Parallel to the Miter
Gauge Groove (Removing Heel) section in Operation.
 Move the rip fence near the saw blade (about three inches
away) and lock the rip fence in place with the locking
lever.
 Mark beside one of the blade teeth at the front of the
blade. Using a ruler, measure the distance from the inside
face of the blade tooth to the to the inside face of the rip
fence.
NOTE: For greater accuracy, place the marked blade
tooth on top of the ruler.
 Turn the blade so the marked tooth is at the back.
 Move the ruler to the rear and again measure the distance
from the inside face of the blade tooth to the inside face
of the rip fence. If the distances are the same, the blade
and the rip fence are parallel.
If the distances are different:
 Unlock the rip fence.
 Loosen the two screws located on top of the rip fence.
 Adjust the rip fence.
 Alternately retighten the screws. Recheck alignment.
 Repeat steps as needed until rip fence is correctly aligned.
 Replace blade guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback pawls.
