OPERATION
TO ADJUST THE BEVEL INDICATOR
See Figure 55.
If the bevel indicator is not at zero when the saw blade is at
90°, adjust the indicator by loosening the screws and setting
it at 0° on the bevel scale. Retighten the screws.
TO USE THE RIP FENCE
See Figures 56 and 57.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, always make sure the
rip fence is parallel to the blade before beginning
any operation.
NOTE: The rip fence included with your saw has an adjustable
low fence that can be positioned to face towards or face
away from the blade. The low fence should face away from
the blade when cutting material greater than 3/4 inches thick.
The low fence should only face the blade when cutting narrow
material that is 3/4 inches thick or less. NEVER support the
weight of the workpiece on the low fence while making a cut.
 Loosen the rip fence by lifting the locking handle.
 Place the rear lip on the rear of the saw table and pull
slightly toward the front of the unit.
 Lower the front end of the rip fence onto the guide surfaces
on top of the front rail.
 Check for smooth gliding action.
 Position the rip fence the desired distance from the blade.
 With the rip fence flat on the saw table, push the fence
towards the front rail to align the fence to the blade.
 Push the locking handle down to align and secure the
fence. When securely locked, the locking handle should
point downward.
NOTE: Ensure the locking handle secures the rip fence
in place. If adjustments are needed, see To Check the
Tightness of the Rip Fence Locking Handle in the
Adjustment section of this manual.
NOTE: If the rip fence is not parallel to the blade,
adjustments are needed. Refer to: To Check the Alignment
of the Rip Fence to the Blade in the Adjustment section
of this manual.
