Fence Scale
Alignment
Before operation, the 0" mark on the rip fence scale must be aligned with the right side of the blade to ensure that the rip fence measurements will be accurate.
To align the fence scale with the blade:
1.Set the blade to 0˚ on the control panel (90˚ with the cast iron table).
2.Raise the main blade up as far as it will go.
3.Disconnect the saw from the power source!
4.Remove the stop bolt shown in Figure 56.

5.Move the rip fence all the way against the blade as shown in Figure 57.

6.Loosen the scale lock knob (Figure 58), adjust the scale 0" mark even with the fence, and tighten the scale knob to keep the scale in place.

7.Move the fence away from the blade and re- install the stop bolt that was removed in step 4.
