ASSEMBLY
Position the rip fence over the right miter gauge groove. Place the front of the rip fence on the front rail before lowering the back of the rip fence onto the back rail.
Open this Operator's Manual so that eight pages are separated from the rest. Using these pages as a guide, place them under the rip fence. The pages should slide from the front to the back of the rip fence.
If the rip fence is too high or too low, loosen the hex nuts holding the rails in place and adjust the rails up or down as needed.
Once the proper alignment is made, wrench tighten the hex nuts.
TO CHECK THE THROAT PLATE
See Figure 26.
WARNING:
The throat plate must be level with the saw table. If the throat plate is too high or too low, the workpiece can catch on the uneven edges result- ing in binding or kickback which could result in serious personal injury.
To align the throat plate with the saw table:
