ALIGNING THE RIP SCALE INDICATORS
See Figures 33A -33B.
The rip scale indicatorson the arm show the distance
between the blade and the rip fence. The upper scale
isused when the fence ispositioned directly behind
thefront table. The lower scale is used when the
fence isat the extreme rear, directly in front of the
column.
The in-ripindicator and scale are on the rightside of
thearm. The out-rip indicator and scale ere on the left
side.
This procedure checks the indicatorswith the fence at
the back ofthe tables directly in front of the column.
The blade should be turned to the in-dp position to sat
the rip scale indicator on the rightside of the arm.
Then, the blade should be turned to the out-rip
position toset the rip scale indicator on the leftside of
the arm. You will need a framing square.
•If the fence is not at the rear of the tables, place it
there.
•Turn the blade to the in-dp position by loosening
the yoke lock handle, below the arm onthe right.
Then pull the yoke pivot latch forward and rotate
the yoke to the in-ripposition. This indexes the
yoke 90" sothe blade isbetween the motor and
the column. Lock the yoke lock handle.
•With the elevating handwheel, lower the arm until
the blade just clearsthe table.
•Loosen the carriage lock knob and guide the blade
back to just touch the fence. Tighten the carriage
lockknob.

• On theright side of the arm,check the lower in-dp
scala indicator, which should be set on 0 inches. If
itis not, loosen the screws and shiftthe indicator
untilit reads zero. Tighten the screws.
•Loosenthe yoke lock handle. Pull the yoke pivot
latchforward and rotate the yoke tothe out-dp
position.The blade shouldbe infront of (outside)
the motor and the column.
•Laythe framing square on the table with the short
edge againstthe fence and with the long side
towardthe table front.
•Note the distance where the blade contacts the
framing square.
•Onthe left side ofthe arm on the out-dp scale,
checkthe rip scale indicatoron the rear fence
position(lower scale). The dp scale indicator should
markthe same number as the distance measured
from thefence to theblade. If it does not, loosen
thescrews and shift the scale until the indicator is
correct. Tighten the screws.
