TO SET THE SCALE TO THE BLADE

The scale is usable from 0-24in. to the right side of the blade and 0-21 in. on the left side of the blade.

The operator can select any desired dimension within those ranges. Use the following steps to set the scale to the blade and scale indicator. Begin with the blade at a zero angle (straight up). See Figure 38.

Loosen the rip fence by raising the locking handle.

Using a framing square, set the rip fence 2 in. from the blade tip edge.

Loosen both front and rear rails by lifting the front and rear rail clamps. See Figure 37.

Adjust the front rail until the 2 in. mark is placed at the scale indicator. Align the rear rail to the front rail.

Tighten the rails and check the dimension and the rip fence in both directions.
