RIP FENCE OPERATION
AND ADJUSTMENTS
The rip fence can be used on either side of the saw blade.
The most common location is on the right side. The rip
fence is guided by means of guide rails fastened to the
front and rear of the table. The front guide rail is gradu¬
ated to show the distance the fence is set from the saw
blade.
To move the rip fence, raise the clamp lever (A) Fig. 50,
as far as it will go and move the fence to the desired posi¬
tion on the table. For fine movement of the rip fence,
raise the clamp lever (A) Fig. 50, as far as it will go and
push in and turn the "micro-sef knob (B).
When the clamp lever (A) Fig. 50, is all the way down,
clamping action on the front and rear guide rails should
be equal. If clamping action on the rear guide rail is more
or less than the clamping action on the front guide rail, an
adjustment of the rear clamp hook is made by turning
screw (C) Fig. 50. Turning the screw (C) clockwise will
increase tension, and turning it counterclockwise will
decrease tension. When lowering clamp lever (A) slowly,
you will notice clamp action on front guide rail first, and
as lever is moved downward to its lowest position, clamp
action will take place on rear guide rail.

Your machine is shipped from the factory with the table
adjusted so that miter gage slots are parallel to the saw
blade. (See section “ADJUSTING TABLE"). The fence,
therefore, should be adjusted so it is parallel to the miter
gage slots. To check the rip fence, set it along one side
of the miter gage slot as shown in Fig. 50, and tighten the
clamp lever (A). If an adjustment is necessary, loosen the
two front cap screws (D). Move the rear end of the fence
body to one side or the other until it is parallel with the
miter gage slot. Then tighten the cap screws (D).
ADJUSTING TABLE INSERT
Place a straight edge (B) across the table at both ends of
the table insert as shown in Fig. 51. The table insert (A)
should always be level with the table. If an adjustment is
necessary, turn the adjusting screws (C), as needed. Four
adjusting screws (C) are supplied.
