Scale Installation &

Adjustment

The self-adhesive scale provides fast and accu- rate fence positioning. It is best to install the scale after all other adjustments in this section have been made. Figure 15 shows the scale properly installed on the front rail.

To install the scale indicator, do these steps:

1.UNPLUG THE TABLE SAW!

2.Raise the blade to its maximum height.

3.Position the fence against the right side of the blade.

4.Carefully place the scale along the front rail about 1⁄2" away from the edge and underneath the scale indicator. Note—Do not stretch the tape! This will cause inac- curate cuts.

5.Position the “0” mark on the scale under the cursor hairline and secure the scale to the rail.

6.Adjust the cursor left or right so the hair- line is directly over the “0” mark on the scale.

7.Make a test cut then measure the thickness of your test board.

8.Fine tune the hairline indicator to corre- spond with the actual test board thickness. This method accounts for any vibration or wobble that may be present in the spinning blade.
