Aligning Rip Fence
The rip fence must be parallel with the
SAWBLADE in order to prevent KICKBACK
when ripping.
Your table saw is equipped with a Self-Aligning, Quick-Set rip
fence. Once the adjustments below have been made, the rip fence
will self align when the fence is locked into position. IF YOU HAVE
NOT YET ASSEMBLED THE RIP FENCE, SEE PAGE 48 FOR
INSTRUCTIONS.
1. To move the rip fence, raise lock handle 1.
2. Slide fence 2 by handle 1, until it is alongside the sawblade
(Fig. 46).
The fence should touch the “SET” teeth at the front and rear of the
blade. If fence does not touch the teeth at front and rear of blade
follow the steps below.
3. Loosen the two hex screws 3 on the top front section of the rip
fence.
4. Move fence 2 until it touches the teeth and is parallel to the
blade.
5. Hold fence in place and lower lock handle, then tighten hex
screws.
6. Clamp rip fence to check if it holds securely at front and rear. If
rear is not clamped securely, unclamp fence and turn rear clamp
adjustment screw 4 clockwise for increased clamping. Try
clamping the fence to verify if it self aligns and clamps tightly at
the front and rear. Overtightening of the rear clamp adjustment
screw 4 will cause the rip fence to be non-self aligning (Fig. 46).
Manual Pointer Adjustment
The distance of the rip fence body from the blade when ripping
on the right side of the blade is determined by lining the pointer
5 with the desired dimension on the scale 6. If an adjustment to
the pointer is necessary, loosen pointer adjustment screw 7,
adjust pointer 5 and tighten screw 7 (Fig. 47).
Miter Gauge Adjustment
1. To adjust the miter gauge, loosen miter gauge lock handle 8 and
set the miter gauge body so the pointer 11 is at the 90° mark,
then tighten lock handle 8 (Fig. 48).
2. Make a cut on a piece of scrap wood. Check it with a square to
see if the piece of wood was cut at 90° (Fig. 48). If the piece of
wood was not cut 90°, adjust the miter gauge body 9, tighten
lock handle 8 and make additional cuts until you are certain you
have made a 90° cut.
3. Loosen pointer adjustment screw 10 so the pointer 11 points to
the 90° mark on scale 12 and tighten screw 10 (Fig. 48).
X-Shop Tools Adjustments
