ASSEMBLY 

 
Ensure that the rip fence is not too high or too low off the table top. You will want 
it to be just about a millimeter off the base of the table. To adjust, loosen the hex 
nuts holding the rails in place and adjust the rails up or down as needed. Once 
proper alignment is made, tighten down all the hex nuts. 
 

 
 
 

 

 

 
 
 

 
 
 
First, lower the blade by turning the height adjusting hand wheel in a 
counterclockwise direction. 
Loosen the screws in the throat plate. 
Using a 3/32 hex key, adjust the 4 set screws as show in 

Figure 12

 

Now, re-tighten the screws being careful not to over tighten. The plate should sit 
firmly and nothing should get caught or nip of the edge of the plate when passing 
a work piece over/along it. 

 

         

Align the Throat Plate to the Saw Table 

 

    
 

 
 
 
 
 

Figure 12

 

NOTE – The throat plate MUST be aligned properly with the saw table. If it is 
not, work pieces may catch on the edge of the plate causing kickback or 
binding which may result is serious personal injury.
