CHECKING RIP FENCE AND
BLADE ALIGNMENT
See Figures 38, 39, and 40.
The rip fence is self-aligning but should be checked
before first use.
WARNING: Failure to align the rip fence to the
blade can cause jams and kickback, resulting in
serious personal injury.
• Slide the rip fence to the miter gage groove, which
is parallel to blade. Do not lock the rip fence.
• Place a framing square against the rip fence, with
the long end towards the front of the blade. See
Figure 38. Measure the distance from the rip fence
to the edge of the blade.
• Move the square to the back of the blade and
measure the length from other end of the rip fence
to the blade. See Figure 39.
• If the distances are different, loosen the four
screws around the rip fence handle with a 6 mm
hex key. Alternate the order (remove the screw
opposite, not next to the first one). See Figure 40.
• Hold the fence handle against the front rail and
arign the rip fence with the blade.
• Retighten the screws in alternating order and
check the alignment.
