2. For adjustments, position the fence to the right of the
blade, parallel with the miter gauge groove.
3. Place the rear clamp (1) (Fig. P) of the fence on the
back rail of the table, and lower the front end over the
front rail (2). Push the handle (3) down to lock.
4. To change the position of the fence, lift up on the

If the fence is loose when the handle is in the locked
position: (Fig. P)
1. Move the handle upward to the unlocked position.
Turn the adjusting screw (4) clockwise until the rear
clamp is snug.
2. DO NOT turn the adjusting screw more than 1/4 turn
at a time.
3. Over-tightening the screw will cause the rip fence to
come out of alignment.
Failure to properly align the fence can cause “kickback”
and serious injury could occur.

RIP FENCE INDICATOR (FIG. Q)
NOTE
: The rip fence indicator points to the scale on the
front of the table saw. Measurement shown by the

of an inch. Measurement shown is the distance from the
blade to the side of the fence closest to the blade.

to the side of the rip fence. If there is a difference
between the measurement and the indicator, adjust
the indicator as shown next.
2. Loosen the indicator screws (1). Slide the indicator
to the correct measurement position on the scale,
then retighten the indicator screws (1).
