•Slide the ripfence to the miter gage groove, which is parallelto blade. Do not lock the rip fence.

•Place a framing square against the blade, with the long end under the ripfence. Note the distance.

•Move the square to the back and measure the length from the other end of the fence.

•If the distancesare different, loosen the four screws around the ripfence 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.

•Retightenthe screws in alternating order and check the alignment.

•Repeat untilthe rip fence is aligned.

To complete assembly of the saw, plug the motorcord 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 performance.
