ALIGNING THE RIP SCALE INDICATORS
See Figures 33A -33B.
The rip scaleindicators on the arm show the distance
between the blade and the rip fence. The upper scale
isused when the fence is positioneddirectly behind
the front table.The lower scale is usedwhen the
fence isat the extreme rear, directlyin front of the
column.
The in-rip indicatorand scale are on the right side of
the arm. The out-rip indicator and scale are on the left
side.
Thisprocedure checks the indicators with the fence at
the beckof the tablesdirectly in front ofthe column.
The blade should be turnedto the in-rip positionto set
therip scale indicator on the rightside ofthe arm.
Then, the blade should be turnedto the out-rip
positionto set the rip scale indicatoron the left side of
thearm. You will need a framing square.
•If the fence isnot at the rear of the tables, place it
there.
•Tum the blade tothe in-rip position by loosening
the yoke lock handle, below the arm on the right.
Then pull the yoke pivotlatch forward and rotate
the yoketo the in-ripposition. This indexes the
yoke90" so the blade isbetween the motorand
the column.Lock the yokelock handle.
•With the elevating handwheel, lower the arm until
the bladejust clears the table.
•Loosenthe carriage lock knob and guide the blade
back to just touch the fence. Tighten the carriage
lock knob,

• On the right side Of the arm, check the lower in-rip
scale indicator, which should be set on O inches. If
it is not, loosen the screws and shiftthe indicator
until it reads zero. Tighten the screws.
• Loosen the yoke lock handle. Pull the yoke pivot
latch forward and rotate the yoke to the out-rip
position. The blade should bein front of (outside)
the motor and the column,
•Laythe framingsquare on the table with the short
edge againstthe fence and with the long side
towardthe table front.
Notethe distance where theblade contacts the
framing square.
On the left side of the arm on the out-ripscale,
checkthe ripscale indicatoron the rear fence
position(lowerscale). The rip scale indicatorshould
markthe same numberas the distance measured
fromthe fence to the blade. If itdoes not, loosen
thescrews and shift the scale until the indicatoris
correct.Tightenthe screws.
