To install the fence scale:

1.Slide the fence up against the saw blade and lock it in place.

2.Place the front rail tape scale on the fence tube, making sure it is parallel with the tube and that the "0" end is directly under the red line on the pointer window, as shown in

Figure 32.

3.Lightly mark the "0" location on the fence tube with a pencil, then remove the fence.

4.Peel the tape and carefully align the "0" mark on the scale with the pencil mark you made on the fence tube.

—If you make a mistake, loosen the screws on the pointer window, slide the fence against the blade, adjust the pointer win- dow so the red line on the window is over the 0" mark on the tape, then secure the screws.

3.Give the spreader an upward tug to verify that it is locked.

Model G0690/G0691 (Mfg. 11/10+)

The blade guard, when properly installed, should look like Figure 34, and should pivot freely so it touches the table surface in the down position. It should also swing up high enough to accommodate the workpiece.

4.Adjust the set screws to make sure the table insert is flush with the table (use a straight- edge as a guide), then tighten the button head screw to secure the table insert in place.

5.Place a straightedge against the blade and the spreader. When properly aligned, the spreader/riving knife will be in the "Alignment Zone," shown in Figure 35, and will be paral- lel with the blade.

—If the spreader/riving knife is not inside the alignment zone and not parallel with the blade, then it needs to be adjusted. Proceed to "Adjusting Alignment" on Page 68.

—If the spreader/riving knife is not parallel with the blade, it may be bent. Proceed to "Checking Alignment" on Page 68 to deter- mine if the spreader/riving knife is bent.
