ADJUSTING REAR TABLE EXTENSION

1.Rear table extension should be positioned as close as possible to the rear of the table when ripping short work pieces.

2.Rear table extension should be pulled out fully until the location seat prevents it from moving outward when ripping long work pieces that require extra support as you are completing the cut.

2.Position the fence on the right side of the table, and along the miter gauge groove.

3.Lock the fence handle. The fence should be parallel with the miter gauge groove.

4.If adjustment is needed to make the fence parallel to the groove, do the following:

•Loosen the two screws (3) and lift up on the handle

(2).

•Hold the fence bracket (4) firmly against the front of the saw table. Move the far end of the fence until it

is parallel with the miter gauge groove.

•Tighten both screws and push the handle to lock.

5.If fence is loose when the handle is in the locked (downward) position, do the following:

•Move the handle (2) upward and turn the adjusting nut (5) clockwise until the rear clamp is snug. Do not

turn the adjusting screw more than 1/4 turn at a time.

•Over-tightening the adjusting screw will cause the fence to come out of alignment.
