Rail Installation, Mounting the Back Rail

UNPLUG the saw power cord, and TURN OFF the power switch before you begin fence installation procedures. Accidental saw startup while installing or adjusting the fence will result in serious personal injury.

Rail Installation

On most saws, the mounting holes for the rails will match the existing rail mounting holes. On the saws where the mounting holes do not line up, see Correcting Mounting Hole Misalignment on Page 14 for instructions on drilling new holes.

Metric and standard hex bolts have been included to fit most common rail installations.

Mounting the Back Rail

1.Remove the mounting hardware for the blade guard which extends over the back edge of the table. (Be sure to reinstall the guard after completion.)

2.Locate the back fence rail (the rail with the two rectangular cut-outs on one edge and one cutout on the other edge) and set it against the rear edge of the table saw.

3.Position the back rail so its top edge is flush with the table top and the rectangular cut-outs are in line with the miter slots. See Figure 1.

Figure 1. Attaching the back rail.

4.Attach the rail using the mounting hardware from the old rail or two 3⁄8"-16 x 1" or M10-1.5 X 25 hex head bolts and washers. Secure as shown in Figure 2.
