Installing and adjustingrip fence

Loosen the lever on the rip fence and fit the rip fence on the ruler guides.

To check to be sure that the rip fence is parallel with the blade, secure the rip fence 2 - 3 mm (5/64"- 1/8") from the blade. Raise the blade up to maximum elevation. Mark one of the blade teeth with a crayon. Measure the distance (A) and (B) between the rip fence and blade. Take both measure- ments using the tooth marked with the crayon. These two measurements should be identical. If the rip fence is not parallel with the blade, proceed as follows:

Insert a screwdriver into the hole in the rear end of the rip fence, then loosen the screw counterclockwisetwo or three turns.

Loosen the two bolts on the top of the rip fence with the wrench.

Adjust the rip fence until it becomes parallel with the blade, then secure it by tightening the bolts.

Tighten the screw in the hole in the rear end of the rip fence clockwise two or three turns.
