d. Lock the table into position and check that the indicator reads zero degree on the side of lower table trunnion. Loosen the screw securing the indicator and reset if necessary to give zero degree reading. (See Fig. 9)
4. ADJUSTING THE RIP FENCE
The locking pressure of the rip fence has been
a. Raise the fence handle to horizontal position.
b. Turn the fence handle clockwise to increase clamping pressure, counterclockwise to decrease clamping pressure.(See Fig. 11)
c. After counterclockwise truning the fence handle, sliding the rip fence to the desired position on the guide raiL(See Fig. 11)
d. The fence handle has a cam action, press down the handle to stamp tightly to the table after setting rip fence to desired position.
IFIG. lt
