B2397 FINAL ASSEMBLY AND FINE TUNING
Select the 4 plastic fence rail end caps and 4 self-tapping screws and install at
the ends of the Align-A-Rip fence rails.
Select the 90 degree sawdust port and install it under the
saw table. This fitting ‘snaps’ into place and then will rotate
freely when connected to a sawdust collector.
Lower the saw blade to its lowest position and remove the saw table blade insert
by loosening the front screw.
Loosen the 2 bolts through the metal plates at the rear of
the opening and attach the saw blade guard, pawls and
kerf splitter. The slots on the rear plate of the splitter will fit
over the bolts. There are 3 positions for it to fit. Raise the
saw blade slightly so that it is about an inch above the
table surface. Use a straightedge to align the blade with
the splitter to ascertain the correct position. Tighten the bolts securely.
Thoroughly clean the ‘T’ miter slots to remove any grease and insert the miter
gauge. This is best achieved by having the tail of the gauge
slightly beyond the rear of the saw table and then drawing it
back. There are three positive stops on the miter gauge that
have been pre-set at the factory, 0 degrees, 45 degrees left and
45 degrees right. Any further adjustments may be done with an
allen wrench by loosening or tightening the screws under the gauge.
The saw table insert has four adjustable levelling screws to
ensure that it sits flush with the tabletop and to prevent any
possible wobble. They are accessible from the top of the
insert and may be adjusted with an allen wrench.
Your CRAFTEX B2397 table saw is a precision tool with versatility. Your Align-A-
Rip fence may be used to the left or right of the saw blade by either lifting it off
the rails or lowering the saw blade and simply sliding it over to the left or right
side of the saw blade.
The Align-A-Rip fence has ‘T’ slots on the faces that will allow you to add a
sacrificial auxiliary rip fence. You must however, compensate for the thickness of
this added fence when using the cursor.
