power source before making any adjustments.
The rip fence must be parallel with the SAW-
BLADE in order to prevent KICKBACK when rip-
ping.
Your table saw is equipped with a Self-Aligning,
Squarelock™ rip fence. Once the adjustments
below have been made, the rip fence will self align
when the fence is locked into position.
When moving the rip fence, make sure to hold the
fence near the lock handle.
NOTE: The blade must be parallel with the miter
gauge slots (see page 20) and be perpendicular
to table before proceeding with rip fence align-
ment.
To prevent personal injury, al-
ways make sure the rip fence
WARNING
is locked before making rip cuts.
1. Lift both guard barriers to their up locked po-
sition.
2. Raise lock handle and slide fence until it is
alongside the sawblade, by lifting right side pawl
above fence (Fig. 29).
The fence should touch the blade teeth at the front
and rear of the blade. If fence does not touch the
teeth at front and rear of blade continue with the
following the steps:
3. Loosen the two screws on the top front section
of the rip fence using the included 5mm hex
wrench.
4. Move fence until it touches the teeth and is
parallel to the blade.
5. Hold fence in place and lower lock handle,
check to make sure the fence stayed parallel to
the blade then tighten screws (Fig. 29).
6. Clamp rip fence to check if it holds securely at
front and rear. If rear is not clamped securely,
unclamp fence and turn rear clamp adjustment
screw clockwise for increased clamp ing. Try
clamping the fence to verify if it self aligns and
clamps tightly at the front and rear. Overtight-
ening of the rear clamp adjustment screw will
cause the rip fence to be non-self aligning (Fig.
29). Overtightening may cause friction or "chat-
ter" when fence is moved side to side.

RIP FENCE POINTER ADJUSTMENT

The distance of the rip fence body from the blade
when ripping on the right side of the blade is de-
termined by lining the pointer with the desired di-
mension on the scale (Fig. 30).
