OPERATION

WARNING:

RIP FENCE

 

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

TO INSTALL THE RIP FENCE

See Figure 19.

nPlace the rear lip on the rear of the saw table and pull slightly toward the front of the unit.

nLower the front end of the rip fence onto the guide surfaces on top of the front rail.

nPush the rip fence lever down to automatically align and secure the fence. The trigger lock must engage.

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.

TO SET THE RIP FENCE SCALE INDICATOR TO THE BLADE

See Figure 20.

The scale is usable from 0 in. - 13 in. to the right side of the blade and 0 in. - 11 in. on the left side of the blade. The operator can select any desired dimension within those ranges. Use the following steps to set the rip fence scale indicator to the blade. Begin with the blade at a zero angle (straight up).

nUnplug the saw.

nLoosen the rip fence by depressing the trigger lock and lifting the locking handle.

nUsing a framing square, set the rip fence 2 in. from the blade tip edge.

nLoosen the screw for the scale indicator and align with the 2 in. mark as shown.

TO USE THE MITER GAUGE

See Figure 21.

���The miter gauge provides greater accuracy in angled cuts. For very close tolerances, test cuts are recommended.

There are two miter gauge channels, one on either side of the blade. When making a 90° cross cut, you can use either miter gauge channel. When making a beveled cross cut (the blade tilted in relation to the table) the miter gauge should be located in the slot on the right so that the blade is tilted away from the miter gauge and your hands.

The miter gauge can be turned 60° to the right or left.

nLoosen the lock knob.

nWith the miter gauge in the miter gauge slot, rotate the gauge until the desired angle is reached on the scale.

nRetighten the lock knob.
