ASSEMBLY & OPERATION
4. Rip Fence Guide
This machine is fitted with a two piece Rip Fence. We recommend
that the Rip Fence is normally used in conjunction with its
adjustable Face piece.
The Rip Fence should be positioned to the RH side of the blade
and is locked in position by using the locking lever. Push down to
lock, and pull up to unlock.
When repositioning the Rip Fence use the mid-point of the fence
to push or pull the fence to the desired position.
FIG. 14
(Fig. 14) Using the mid-point aids accuracy and speed of setting.
The clamping system is designed to correctly align the fence
when the locking lever is pushed down.
Check alignment by sighting either side of the fence with any of
the ' lines' that run across the table.
If misalignment is suspected, the pressure being applied by the
Rip Fence locking lever could be at fault.
To adjust the locking lever pressure:
•
Ensure that the locking lever is in the unlocked position.
•
Turn the clamp pressure adjustment nut (Fig. 15) one flat
FIG. 15
either clockwise or counter-clockwise.
•
Recheck Rip Fence operation and alignment.
•
Continue nut adjustment until the Rip Fence operation is
satisfactory and alignment and clamping is always achieved
wherever the fence is positioned.
Note: The Rip Fence guide incorporates a 'transparent window'
with a datum line to aid reading the measurement scale found
on the fence rail. (Fig. 16)
Forwards and backwards adjustment of the Rip Fence Face is
possible. Loosen the two thumb nuts and slide the aluminium
FIG. 16
Fence Face extrusion to the desired position. Tighten the thumb
nuts securely.
Note: We recommend that normally the Rip Fence Face be
adjusted so that the rear of the Fence Face is level with the rear
of the blade where it emerges from the table. This will provide
clearance for the workpiece as it passes the blade.
The Rip Fence Face has a 'Hi' and 'Lo' position. The 'Lo' position
can be very useful when cutting thin sheet material as it gives
the operator a better view of the workpiece as it passes through
the blade. (Fig.17)

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION
To reposition the Rip Fence Face:
•
Loosen the two thumb nuts to the RH side of the Rip Fence.
•
Slide out the Rip Fence Face extrusion.
•
Re-attach the Rip Fence Face in the 'Lo' position.
•
Adjust to suit and tighten the two thumb nuts.
•
Return to the normal 'Hi' position when cutting has been
completed.
5. Mitre Gauge
The mitre gauge is used on the LH side of the table and runs in
an inverted T slot in the sliding carriage table top.
Turn the vertical handle counter-clockwise to unlock the mitre
gauge, and adjust to the required mitre angle. Turn the handle
clockwise to lock the mitre gauge at the chosen angle.
Note: We recommend that the Mitre Gauge Slide Locking screw
(Fig. 18) be removed and stored safely off the machine for future
use when the Mitre Gauge is being used with the sliding carriage
in the 'locked' position.
We further recommend that the Hold Down Clamp be removed
from the Mitre Gauge and stored safely when the machine is being
used with the sliding carriage in the 'locked' position.
Note: The extruded aluminium face plate of the mitre gauge
should be adjusted so that it is close to, but does not foul the
blade guard. Adjust by loosening the finger nut and sliding the
faceplate to the required position. Securely tighten the thumb
nut. (Fig. 19)
The Mitre Gauge can be set at any angle between 60
