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.
