Rip Fence Adjustments

ALIGNING RIP FENCE

plug from power source before making any
adjustments. The rip fence must be parallel
with the SAWBLADE in order to prevent KICK-
BACK when ripping.
the rip fence is locked before making rip
cuts.
Your table saw is equipped with a self-align-
ing, quick-set rip fence. Once the adjustments
below have been made, the rip fence will self
align when the rip fence is locked into posi-
tion.
NOTE: The blade must be parallel with the
miter gauge slots (refer to "Adjusting Blade
Parallel to the Miter Gauge Slots" section,
page 23) and be perpendicular to table be-
fore proceeding with rip fence alignment.
1. Lift both guard barriers 2 to their up
locked position.
2. Raise lock handle 1 and slide rip fence
3 until it is alongside the sawblade, by
lifting right side pawl 4 above rip fence
(Fig. 24).
The rip fence should touch the blade teeth at
the front and rear of the blade. If rip fence
does not touch the teeth at front and rear of
blade continue with the following the steps:
3. Loosen the two screws 5 on the top
front section of the rip fence using the
included 5mm hex wrench.
4. Move rip fence 3 until it touches the
teeth and is parallel to the blade.
5. Hold rip fence in place and lower lock
handle, check to make sure the rip fence
stayed parallel to the blade then tighten
screws (Fig. 24).
6. Clamp rip fence to check if it holds se-
curely at front and rear. If rear is not
clamped securely, unclamp rip fence
and turn rear clamp adjustment screw 6
clockwise for increased clamp ing. Try
clamping the rip fence to verify if it self
aligns and clamps tightly at the front
and rear. Overtightening of the rear
clamp adjustment screw 6 will cause
the rip fence to be non-self aligning (Fig.

or "chatter" when rip 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 determined by lining the rip fence
pointer 7 with the desired dimension on the
scale 8 (Fig. 25).

TO SET THE RIP FENCE POINTER:

1. Lift both guard barriers 2 to their up
locked position (Fig. 24).
2. Raise lock handle 1 and slide rip fence
3 until it is alongside the sawblade, by
lifting right side pawl 4 above rip fence
(Fig. 24).
3. Loosen pointer adjustment screw 9, ad-
just pointer 7 to "0" mark on lower scale
8, then re-tighten screw 9 (Fig. 25).
