THE RIP FENCE

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 Plate.
The Rip Fence should normally be positioned to the RH side
of the blade. It is locked in position by using the locking lever.
Push down to lock, and pull up to unlock.
Forwards and backwards adjustment of the Rip Fence Face
Plate is possible. Loosen the finger nuts and slide the Rip Fence
Face Plate to the desired position. Tighten the wing nuts
securely (Fig. 29).
We recommend you adjust and align the back of the Rip Fence
Face Plate level with the front of the saw blade (Fig. 30).
THE DUAL READ SCALE
This machine has a dual read scale that shows the distance
from the blade to the Rip Fence through a viewing window.
This can be used to aid setting the cutting distance from
the blade to the Rip Fence. With the Rip Fence Face Plate
attached, use the black scale to set the distance of the Rip
Fence. If you should need to use the Rip Fence without the
Face Plate, use the orange scale.
Note: When using the Rip Fence to the LH side of the blade
use the left viewing window to read the scales. When using
the Rip Fence to the RH side of the blade, use the right viewing
window to view the scale (Fig. 31). The scale should be
regarded as a useful guide. It is not a substitute for careful and
accurate 'marking out'.

THE MITRE GAUGE

The Mitre Gauge can be used on either side of the table and
runs in inverted 'T' slots machined into the Sliding Carriage
and the table top (RH).
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.
The Mitre Gauge can be locked into the Sliding Carriage by
tightening the Mitre Gauge Slide Locking Screw (Fig. 32).
