the machine, tighten all securing bolts.
10. To align the left half of the fence, place a 6-ft (1.8m) or 8-ft (2.4m) straightedge on the right-hand fence. Move
it to the left until it extends the full length of the left wooden fence (48”or 1,219mm). Clamp the straightedge to
the frame of the machine. Carefully adjust the left aluminum extrusion until the top of the wooden fence gently
touches the bottom of the straightedge along its entire surface. Retighten all securing bolts.
To adjust the rulers, measure out from the saw blade and place a vertical pencil mark at 24” (610mm). Place both
thumbs on the face of the ruler, and slide the ruler to the right or left to the proper location. Test-cut a piece of
scrap material to check the ruler position.
Hold-Down Bar
The Hold-Down Bar Accessory consists of a vertical tube and several spring hold-down arms that help hold any
thin, flexible material for chip-free, accurate cutting. It accepts material up to 3/4 in. (19mm) thick, and can be
quickly removed without wrenches for cutting thicker material.
A Hold-Down Bar is standard on the Models 7400 and 7400XL.
Installation
1. Attach the top and bottom support brackets (Figure 46) with four 5/16” x 3/4” (7.9mm x 19.05mm) cap screws
and nuts. The top bracket is marked “T” and the bottom bracket is marked “B”.
2. Insert the round vertical tube up through the top bracket and then lower it down through the bottom bracket. A
small hex-head screw at the bottom of the tube prevents you from inserting it the wrong way.
3. Attach the top and bottom tension locks as shown in Figure 46.
4. Attach the spring hold-down arms with 1/4” (6.35mm) hex-head T.C. screws and washers.
5. Turn the vertical tube until the spring arms touch the tool frame and then tighten the top and bottom tension
locks.
