Rip Fence Adjustments
ALIGNING RIP FENCE
To prevent personal in-
jury, always dis con nect
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.
Your table saw is equipped with a Self-Align-
ing, Quick-Set rip fence. Once the adjust-
ments below have been made, the rip fence
will self align when the fence is locked into
position.
NOTE: The blade must be parallel with the
miter gauge slots (refer to "Adjusting Blade
Parallel to the Miter Gauge Slots" section,
page 20) and be perpendicular to table be-
fore proceeding with rip fence alignment.
To prevent personal in-
jury, always make sure
the rip fence is locked before making rip
cuts.
1. Lift both guard barriers 2 to their up
locked position.
2. Raise lock handle 1 and slide fence 3
until it is alongside the sawblade, by lift-
ing right side pawl 4 above fence (Fig.
24).
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 con-
tinue 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 fence 3 until it touches the teeth
and is parallel to the blade.
5. Hold fence in place and lower lock han-
dle, check to make sure the 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 fence and
turn rear clamp adjustment screw 6
clockwise for increased clamp ing. Try
clamping the 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.
24). Overtightening may cause friction
or “chatter” 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 determined by lining the 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 fence 3
until it is alongside the sawblade, by lift-
ing right side pawl 4 above 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).
