Adjustable Mounting Lugs
There are three sets of adjustable lugs (three lugs on
the front rail, three lugs on the rear rail). You must
mount the rip fence on one of the lug sets.
•
Use the lug set that’s to the right of the blade,
farthest from the blade, for rip cuts in general or to
use the saw’s widest rip capacity.
•
Use the lug set that’s to the right of the blade,
nearest the blade, for rip cuts in general.
•
Use the lug set to the left of the blade if you need to
make a rip cut on that side of the saw.
to learn how to set rip width.
Make sure you place the rip fence on the correct
set of mounting lugs so that the face of the rip
fence is parallel to the saw blade.
How to Store the Rip Fence
With the rip fence upside down, place and hold (A) the
rip fence under the left side of the table, on the lugs,
and then lock the latches on both sides of the rip
fence (B).
Rip Width Control
Use the rip width control (A) to set the rip fence to the
desired rip cut width (
to learn how to use the ruler to set rip
width.
Low Fence
The low fence (A) has two positions so you can use
the mechanism as a low fence or as a shelf.
Use the low fence position to make narrow rip cuts
(
) and still permit use of the blade
guard.
When using the low fence, subtract 2 inches (50.8mm)
from the ruler to allow for the width of the low fence.
Shelf
Use the shelf position (A) to support workpieces when
the rip fence is extended to the right such that the
workpiece could over-center and tip down (
).
For instructions on adjusting the vertical shelf
position at full extension, please see the Compact
Table Saw Service Manual, available at https://www.

Fence Stops
If the fence contacts the blade, the brake cartridge
will activate. The fence stops are designed to prevent
the rip fence from contacting the blade when:
•
The rip fence is mounted to the right of the blade on
the mounting lugs closest to the blade
•
The rip fence is mounted on the lugs to the left of
the blade
If required, you can override the fence stops by
pushing and holding them in while you adjust the rip
fence to pass over the stops. In this situation, take
extra care that you do not cause the rip fence to
contact the blade, which will result in an activation.
