See Figures 17and 18.

The ripfence scale indicatoris installedon the right side of the rip fence but can be removed and rein-

stalled on the left side if needed. If a cutting operation requiresplacing the rip fence on the left side of the blade, and you find relocatingthe scale indicator necessary, simply unscrewand re-attach it.

•Hook the back of the rip fence over the rear rail. Lower the frontof the rip fence into the groove on the front rail.

•Slide the rip fence back and forth. It should move freely with about 1/16 in. clearance between the rip fence and table surface. If it doesn't,loosen the nuts holdingthe front rail and adjust it up or down.

•Remove the rip fence and repeat on other side of the blade. When the fence rides smoothly, tighten all rail hex nuts with a 12 mm wrench.

•Attach the end caps and s_rews with a phillips screwdriver.
