Craftsman 315.22839 Aligning The Rip Fence And Front Rail, Hook Over, Rear Rail Here, To Install

ALIGNING THE RIP FENCE AND FRONT RAIL

See Figures 17 and 18.

The rip fence scale indicator is installed on the right side of the rip fence but can be removed and rein- stalled on the left side if needed, tf a cutting operation requires placing the rip fence on the left side of the blade, and you find relocating the scale indicator necessary, simply unscrew and re-attach it.

•Hook the back of the rip fence over the rear rail.

Lower the front of the rip fence into the groove on the front rail.

•Slide the rip fence back and forth, tt should move freely with about 1/16 in. clearance between the rip fence and table surface. If it doesn't, loosen the nuts holding the front and rear rails and adjust it up or down.

•When the fence rides smoothly, tighten all rail hex nuts with a 12 mm wrench.

•Remove the rip fence and repeat the steps in the two previous sections to install the remaining sections of the front and rear rail assemblies.

•Use the rail connectors provided to join each rail assembly together.

•Slide the rip fence back and forth to make sure it moves freely. Also check the clearance between the rip fence and the table surface on the other side of the blade.

See Figure 19.

•Get the motor assembly, the motor mounting plate and the following hardware:

4 hex bolts (5/16-18 x 1 in.)

8 fiat washers (5/16 in.)

4 lock washers (5/16 in.)

4 hex nuts (5/16-18)

2 hex bolts (5/16-18 x 3/4 in.)

Note: Remaining hardware from this bag is used for installing the belt guard.

•Release the bevel lock handle (front of cabinet)

and turn the bevel handwheel (side of cabinet) until

the blade is fully vertical. Retighten the bevel lock handle.

•Align the holes in the motor mounting plate and the motor bracket so the top edges are even. Place a fiat washer on the 1 in. bolts and insert into the holes.

•Install a fiat washer, lock washer, and a hex nut on each bolt. Hand tighten only. This is the motor support assembly.

•Center the motor side to side on the motor mount- ing plate. Tighten the nuts with a 12 mm wrench.

•Insert the two rods on the motor support assembly into holes in the cradle. Push the motor in as far as

it will go. Thread the two hex bolts into the cradle to clamp down on the rods. Do not securely tighten bolts yet.
