Fence
Figure 1
Assembly and Installation of the Fence
1. Remove the fence and fence hand wheel
from the shipping pallet.
2. Unbolt the fence rail from the rip saw. The
fence rail is secured on either side with a
hex bolt.
3. Thoroughly clean fence and rail including
the inner race of the fence bracket to
ensure smooth operation.
4. Slide the fence onto the fence rail. Make
sure that the pinion gear rotates freely on
the rack.
5. Install the hand wheel onto the pinion gear
shaft. Secure the hand wheel to the shaft
with the set screw.
Figure 2
6. Attach the complete assembly using the
two hex bolts.
Do not tighten at this time.
Adjustment of Fence to Blade
1. Lay a good known straight edge (B, Figure
1) on the table along the inside edge of
the caterpillar chain (A, Figure 1).
2. Loosen the 4 allen bolts (C, Figure 1) inset
in the top of the fence casting.
3. Slide the fence toward the straight edge
and tighten the allen bolts once the fence
is in alignment with the straight edge.
Adjustment of Rail to Blade
1. The “zero mark” on the tape should align
with the right side blade kerf.
Figure 3
2. From the factory the blade was run into
the rubber inserts of the caterpillar chain.
From this the blade kerf impression can be
seen in the rubber insert (A, Figure 2). IF
there is no blade impression go to ‘Setting
the Saw Blade Height on page 16.
3. Slide the fence to the “zero mark” (A,
Figure 3) and lock into place using the
fence lock handle.
4. Now slide the rail left or right until the left
face of the fence is directly over the right
side blade kerf impression on the rubber
insert (B, Figure 2).
5. Tighten the rail bolts.
