CHECKING RIP FENCE AND BLADE

ALIGNMENT

See Figures 31 - 33.

The rip fence is self-a(igning 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. Mea- sure the distance from the rip fence to the edge of the blade.

•Move the square to the back of the blade and measure the distance from the other end of the rip fence to the blade.

•If the distances are different, loosen the four screws around the rip fence handle with a 6 mm hex key. Alternate the order (loosen the screw opposite, not next to the first one).

•Hold the fence handle against the front rail and align the rip fence with the blade.

•Retighten the screws in alternating order and check the alignment.

•Repeat until the rip fence is aligned.

•Lock the rip fence handle in desired position by rotating the handle down.

To complete assembly of the saw, plug the motor cord into the back of the switch. Run the cord around the side of the cabinet. Secure it to the side of the cabinet with the cord clip and screw provided. Use care with the cord around sharp edges. Your saw is now set up to provide years of high quality perfor- mance.
