The rip fence should be used for all ripping operations. It should be located on the right side of
the saw blade, and is in three parts, The Fence, the Slide, and the Clamp.
Bolt the clamp to the slide, in the manner shown in Fig. 7, using the countersunk screws, with flat
and spring washers supplied.
The rip fence is then clamped to the front edge of the table. Simply lift the Clamp Lever so that
it is horizontal, then place the clamp, with rip fence attached, so that the clamping slot sits in
the groove on the front of the table, with the rip fence resting on the table. The scale, on the
front edge of the table, can be read through he window in the clamp. To secure the rip fence
assembly, press down on the clamping lever.
The rip fence may also be moved on the slide by undoing the two securing knobs - see Fig.7,
moving the fence to the desired position then retightening the knobs.
Fig.7
To square the rip fence, clamp the complete
assembly so that the edge of the fence - AA
Fig.8, lines up with the mitre gauge slot, on
the right side of the table.
Slacken off the two nuts securing the clamp
to the slide, (shown in Fig.7) by half a turn only,
sufficient to pivot the fence, by hand, as
shown, so that the edge of the slot and the
fence are perfectly in line, then retighten the
two nuts securely. You may need to carry out
this check at regular intervals to ensure the
rip fence is always square.

1. The Rip Fence
NOTE: It is ESSENTIAL that either the Rip Fence, or the Mitre Gauge is used for all Table Saw
operations, as described under ‘Cutting Methods’ on pages 19-22 in this manual. These
components must be assembled as follows:
WARNING!
Before using the rip fence, it is important to ensure that it is perfectly in line with the saw
blade, otherwise accuracy will be compromised, and kick backs and/or binding could
occur, as you will, in effect, be trying to cut tapers.
