OPERATION
TO ADJUST QUICK-STOP
See Figure 28.
The quick-stop is preset at the factory to stop the miter fence
at exactly 0°. However, when sliding miter table adjustments
are made, these adjustments may cause the quick-stop to
need adjusting. Check quick-stop with miter scale set at 0°. If
adjustments are needed, proceed with the following steps:
Loosen the eccentric screw holding the quick-stop.
Place the quick-stop against the miter fence with miter
scale set at 0°.
Adjust eccentric screw until it holds quick-stop securely
against miter fence.
Retighten hex nut, securing eccentric screw and quick-
stop.
Check your work. If the quick-stop is not at zero degrees,
repeat above steps.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, always make sure the rip fence
is parallel to the blade before beginning any operation.
TO SET THE RIP FENCE SCALE INDICATOR TO THE BLADE
See Figure 29.
Begin with the blade at a zero angle (straight up).
Unplug the saw.
Loosen the rip fence by lifting the locking lever.
Using a framing square, set the rip fence 2 in. from the
blade tip edge.
Loosen the screw on the scale indicator and align with
the 2 in. mark as shown.
Tighten the screw and check the dimension and the rip
fence.
TO USE THE RIP FENCE
See Figure 30.
Place the rear lip on the rear of the saw table and pull
slightly toward the front of the unit.
Lower the front end of the rip fence onto the guide
surfaces on top of the front rail.
Push the locking lever down to automatically align and
secure the fence.
Check for a smooth gliding action. If adjustments are needed,
see To Check the Alignment of the Rip Fence to the Blade
in the Adjustment section of this manual.
