4.Shift either end of the fence as needed to gain identical distance from table top.

5.Tighten both screws in the rear rail using a 10mm wrench.

Installing Front Rail and Rip Fence

Refer to Figures 26 through 29.

1.Install front rail (E, Figure 26) to the main table using two M6x20 hex cap screws (HP4-L), two 1/4" lock washers (HP4-M) and two 1/4" flat washers (HP4-N). Finger tighten only at this time.

2.Install guide rail (B, Figure 27) to the slots in the front rail using three M6x20 hex cap screws (HP4-L), three 1/4" lock washers (HP4-M)and three 1/4" flat washers (HP4- N). Tighten with a 10mm wrench.

3.Attach the fence (C, Figure 28) to the fence body (P) with four 5/16”x3/4” hex cap screws (HP4-H), four 5/16” lock washers (HP4-J)and four 5/16” flat washers (HP4-K). Tighten the screws with a 12mm wrench.

4.At the rear of the fence, thread a 1/4” hex nut (HP4-D,Figure 29) onto the sliding pad (HP4-G)and insert the sliding pad through the fence and rear hook (HP4-C). Secure in place using a 1/4” flat washer (HP4-E), 1/4” lock washer (HP4-F)and a 1/4” hex nut (HP4-D). The rear hook should be adjusted so that it overlaps the rear rail by approximately 1/8".

5.Hook the fence assembly over the rear rail, and onto the guide rail, as shown in Figure 28.

6.When the fence assembly is placed on the table, the rear hook (HP4-C)should be almost contacting the underside of the rear rail, as shown. The sliding pad will ride along the top of the rear rail.

Setting Fence-to-Table Gap

The gap between the bottom of the rip fence and the table top should be high enough that the fence will not scrape along the table, yet low enough that thin workpieces won’t slip beneath it. The gap should be equal along the length of the fence. Adjust as follows:

Refer to Figures 29 and 30.

1.Lock the fence assembly to the front rail by pushing the fence handle down. The front rail screws should still have “play” in them.

2.Lift up on both guide rail and fence together until the fence/table gap at the front edge of the table is acceptable.
