After adjusting the positive stops, set the blade at 90° to
the table surface. Then adjust the arrow pointer so that
its right edge is aligned to the 0° graduation.
Installing and adjusting rip fence
Raise the grip of the rip fence. Install the rip fence on
the table so that the fence holder engages with the
guide rail. The rip fence can be secured by lowering the
grip.
To check to be sure that the rip fence is parallel with the
blade, secure the rip fence 2 - 3 mm (5/64” - 1/8” ) from
the blade. Raise the blade up to maximum elevation.
Mark one of the blade teeth with a crayon. Measure the
distance (A) and (B) between the rip fence and blade.
Take both measurements using the tooth marked with
the crayon.These two measurements should be identi-
cal. If the rip fence is not parallel with the blade, pro-
ceed as follows:
1. Turn the adjusting nut counterclockwise a couple of
turns.
2. Loosen the two hex bolts on the rip fence with the
wrench provided.
3. Adjust the rip fence until it becomes parallel with the
blade.
4. Lower the grip to secure the rip fence.
5. Tighten the two hex bolts on the rip fence.
