A WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, always make sure the rip fence is parallel to the blade before beginning any operation.

TO USE THE RIP FENCE

See Figure 31.

[] Lower the front end of the rip fence onto the guide surfaces on top of the front rail.

[] With the rip fence flat on the saw table, push the fence towards the front rail to align the fence to the saw table.

[] Push the locking lever down to align and secure the fence.

Check for a smooth gliding action. If adjustments are needed, see To Check the Alignment of the Rip Fence to the Blade in the Adjustment section of this manual.

[] Make two or three test cuts on scrap wood. If the cuts are not true, repeat the process.

NOTE: The rip fence must be secure when the locking handle is engaged. To increase the grip of the rip fence on the rear lip of the table, tighten the clamp screw on the rear of the rip fence by turning it clockwise.

[] Using a framing square, set the rip fence 2 in. from the blade tip edge.
