ALIGNING RIP FENCE

To prevent personal injury,
always
from the power source before making any
adjustments.
The fence is properly aligned to the blade in all
three positions at the factory and should not re-
quire adjustment. This section is intended only
for maintenance purposes or when the fence
becomes unaligned due to impact. The rip
fence must be parallel with the sawblade in or-
der to prevent KICKBACK when ripping.
Your table saw is equipped with a multiple po-
sition rack and pinion rip fence. Once the ad-
justments below have been made, the rip fence
will self align when the fence is locked into one
of the three positions. All three rip fence posi-
tions need to be aligned parallel to the blade.
When moving the rip fence, make sure to un-
lock and lock the fence with the rail lock handle
and use the front rail knob to adjust the fence
position.
NOTE: The blade must be parallel with the
miter gauge slots (see "Adjusting Blade Parallel
to the Miter Gauge Slots") and be perpendicu-
lar to table before proceeding with rip fence
alignment.
To prevent personal injury,
always make sure that the
rip fence is locked before making rip cuts.
1. Lift both guard barriers to their up locked po-
sition (Fig 29).
2. Turn the elevation wheel and raise the blade
as high as it will go.
3. Align the blade to the miter gauge slots per
instructions: ADJUSTING BLADE PARALLEL
TO THE MITER GAUGE SLOTS.
4. Right side, position 1 (close to blade), see
Fig. 31.
NOTE: The right side position 1 for the fence
permits cuts of 0 to 24.5 inches on the right side
of the blade. The top scale shows this dimen-
sion. In this location, the flip-over fence should
be on the left of the main fence when in the aux-
iliary fence position (closest to the blade).
a. Loosen the right side position 1 bolts on
the front and back rails so that they can
slide freely, approximately 1/2 to 1 turn.
Move the bolts to the right by approxi-
mately 1/8 inch.

b. Place the fence on the position 1 bolts,
but do not secure the latches on the front
or back rail.
c. Move the rails so that the position indica-
tor lines up with 0 on the top scale. Lock
the rails in place using the rail lock pad-
dle. If anti-kickback pawls are installed,
you will need to raise the right side in or-
der to align the fence with the blade.
d. Slide the fence with the front and back
screws towards the blade until the fence
touches the blade teeth at the front and
back of the blade.
e. Tighten the front bolt. Verify that the
fence is still in contact with the front and
back teeth of the blade.
f. Tighten the back bolt. Verify that the fence
is still in contact with the front and back
teeth of the blade.
g. Latch the fence clamps onto the rails and
ensure that the fence is still in contact
with the front and back teeth of the blade.
