8.4.1 Fence at rear position
With fence at rear position, loosen screw (D

Figure
8-11). Remove scale, rotate it 180° and slide it back
into fence. Number sequence now begins properly
from blade area.
Use same method as above for adjusting fence
scale in reference to blade.
8.5 Capacity adjustment
To further adjust capacity, loosen screws in
mounting bracket (Figure 8-14), and slide entire
assembly forward or back, removing any of the
screws as necessary.
NOTE: At least two (2) screws must remain in the
mounting bracket. Use
more than two whenever
possible.

9.0 Operations
Familiarize yourself thoroughly
with the correct and safe operation of your table
saw before using the sliding table. Failure to
comply may cause serious injury.
9.1 Fence position and capacities
With fence in front position, cutting capacity is 39-
inches. See Figure 9-1.
Figure 9-1 (Blade guard removed for clarity only,
install guard before operating saw.)
With fence in rear position, cutting capacity is 41-
inches with panel clearing blade; 49-inches without
panel clearing blade. See Figure 9-2.
Figure 9-2 (Blade guard removed for clarity only,
install guard before operating saw.)
NOTE: The above capacities may vary depending
upon position of adjusting plate on the saw table.
Also, slight variation can occur depending upon
thickness of panel and height of saw blade (i.e.
where blade tooth engagement begins).
9.2 Cutting angles
Angles up to 50-degrees are possible, with pre-set
stops at standard angles.
To make an angled cut:
1. Install fence in front position.
2. Loosen both handles on angle clamp, and slide
angle clamp to desired position on angle scale.
If setting an angle of 15, 22.5, 30, 45 or 50
degrees, use index pin and hole in angle
adjusting rail to quickly find position.
3. Tighten handles on angle clamp.
9.3 General operating procedures
1. Set fence to at least 1/4-inch from blade, and
tighten handles to secure position.
Always make sure that
fence will clear the blade during travel, and
that handles are tight to prevent fence from
migrating into blade.
