6. NOTE: Different types of blades make different kerfs
(width of cuts). Therefore, it is necessary to check adjust-
ment of rip fence pointer and blade guard splitter when
changing blades.
ADJUSTING THE RIP SCALE
1. Unlock the rail lock lever (see Figure 9).
2. Set the blade at 0Þ bevel and move the fence in until it
touches the blade.
3. Lock the rail lock lever.
4. Loosen the rip scale pointer screws (see Figure 16) and
set the rip scale pointer to read zero (0). Retighten the rip
scale pointer screws. The rip scale reads correctly only
when the fence is mounted on the right side of the blade.
ATTACHING THE BLADE GUARD
1. Raise the saw blade arbor to its maximum height by turn-
ing the blade height adjustment wheel clockwise.
2. Loosen, but do not remove the two bolts shown in
Figure 10.
3. Insert the blade guard as shown in Figure 11A, ensuring
the bolts fit into the slots on the blade guard. The edge
of the splitter should protrude below and hook under the
ARBOR
shims. Tighten the bolts. Make sure the splitter is cen-
NUT
tered and parallel to the blade by lining up the parts with
a straight edge. If the blade and splitter are not aligned,
loosen, but do not remove the bolts again. Remove the
guard and reinsert it after adjusting the shims. These
shims allow for precision alignment of the blade and
splitter. Tighten the bolts securely. Make sure that there
is clearance between the splitter and the blade, and that
the blade spins freely. If the splitter is tilted relative to the
blade, the splitter plate can be bent until it lines up cor-
rectly.
IMPORTANT: THE GUARD SHOULD BE IN PLACE
FOR ALL POSSIBLE CUTS.
OUTER
WASHER 4. Retighten the bolts securely.
WARNING: Before connecting the table saw to the power
source or operating the saw, always inspect the guard and
splitter for proper alignment and clearance with saw blade.
Check alignment after each change of bevel angle.
When properly aligned, the splitter will be in line with the blade
at both table top level, and at the top of the blade. Using a
straight edge, ensure that the blade is aligned with the split-
ter as shown in Figure 11B. With power disconnected, oper-
ate the blade tilt and height adjustments through the extremes
of travel and insure the guard clears the blade in all operations
and that the anti-kickback teeth are functioning.
ATTACHING THE THROAT PLATE
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
the throat plate must be in place at all times.
1. Align the throat plate as shown in Figure 12, and insert the
tabs on the back of the throat plate into the holes on the
back of the table.
