Rip Fence

The fence should slide easily along the guide bars and always remain in alignment (parallel to sawblade and miter gauge grooves),

The alignment is maintained by a spring underneath the fence which bears against the front guide bar

To move the fence, loosen the lock handle and grasp the fence with one hand at the front

For very close adjustments, grasp the guide bar w{th both hands and move the fence with your thumbs
