ADJUSTMENTS
To avoid injury from an accidental start, make sure
the switch is in the OFF position and the plug is not
connected to the power source, before making any
adjustments.
ASSEMBLING AND ADJUSTING THE
TABLE EXTENSION (FIG. 16)
NOTE: The table extension may be installed on the right
side of the table, as needed, to support long workpiece.
To adjust the table extension position
1. Loosen the two clamp bolts (4) on the two extension
tube brackets.
2. Slide the extension tubes in or out until the scale on
the front tube is positioned at the desired distance.
Tighten the two clamp bolts.
3. To adjust fence position, loosen lock handles (5) and
position auxiliary fence (6).
4. Tighten lock handles (5).
Fig. 16
MITER GAUGE ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 17)
1. To check the miter gauge, loosen the lock handle (1)
to allow miter body (3) to rotate freely (Fig. 17).
Position the miter body at 90° so the positive detent
secures its’ position. Tighten the lock handle to hold
the miter body in position.
2. If the pointer requires adjustment, loosen the two
screws under the pointer with a hex key. Adjust the
pointer to 90° on the scale then firmly tighten both
adjusting screws.
3. To change angles on miter gauge, loosen the lock
handle (1) and rotate the miter body to desired angle
as indicated by the scale. Secure in position by
tightening the lock hand.

RIP FENCE ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 18)
1. The fence (1) is moved by lifting up on the handle (2)
and sliding the fence to the desired location. Pushing
down on the handle locks the fence in position.
2. Position the fence on the right side of the table, and
along one edge of the miter gauge grooves.
3. Lock the fence handle. The fence should be parallel
with the miter gauge groove.
4. If adjustment is needed to make the fence parallel to
the groove, do the following:
● Loosen the two screws (3) and lift up on the handle
(2).
● Hold the fence bracket (4) firmly against the front of
the saw table. Move the far end of the fence until it is
parallel with the miter gauge groove.
● Tighten both screws and push the handle to lock.
5. If fence is loose when the handle is in the locked
(downward) position, do the following:
● Move the handle (2) upward and turn the adjusting
screw (5) clockwise until the rear clamp is snug. Do
not turn the adjusting screw more than 1/4 turn at a
time.
Over-tightening the adjusting screw will cause the fence
to come out of alignment.
CAUTION!
Failure to properly align fence can cause “kickback”
and serious injury.

RIP FENCE INDICATOR ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 18
)
1. The rip fence indicator (6) points to the measurement
scale (8). The scale shows the distance from the side of
the fence to the side of the blade.
2. Measure the actual distance with a rule. If there is a
difference between the measurement and the indicator,
adjust the indicator (6).
3. Loosen the screw (7) and slide the indicator to the
correct measurement on the scale. Tighten the screw
and re-measure with the rule.
