lnstalling and Adjusting Rip Scale Indica- tors.

Note: The rip scales and pointers are intended to be used for quick settings. For greater accuracy, take direct measurement between blade and fence.

1.Pre-assemble indicator and twin nut. Loosen but do not remove two screws which attach left hand carriage cover.

2.Tilt carriage cover and install rip indicator with twin nut on inside of cover. Tighten car- riage cover attaching screws.

3.Loosen two cover screws. Loosen but do not remove carriage lock knob in right hand carriage cover. Install rip indicator. Tighten carriage cover attaching screws.

4.With fence in its normal position (next to front table), loosen yoke lock handle, pull yoke index lever forward and rotate yoke to the left to index yoke 90° from the cross cut position. This will locate saw blade between motor and fence (“In Rip” position). Lock yoke lock handle.

5.Position carriage until edge of blade, when spun by hand, just touches front face of fence. The “In-Rip” scale indicator (on the right hand side of radial arm) should now read "0" inches on upper portion of the blade "In-Rip" scale. If not, loosen screws and shift the indicator until it is aligned with the "0" mark, then tighten the screws.

Note: With saw blade and fence in the position shown, the upper portion of blade "In-Rip" scale is used. If fence is moved to extreme rear position, the lower portion of blade "In-Rip "scale would be used.
