5.5 Fitting the Rip Fence
Now simply slide the rip fence on to the fence carrier and tighten the
holding fixtures. Screw in the lock knob to secure the position of the fence
on the rail Fig 5.4. The fence can be used in the upright position as shown
or the fence can be attached to the carrier using the other "T" slot giving a
lower profile fence for use when making bevelled cuts with the blade tilted
or when working with small workpieces.

Check that the fence is 90º to the table using a suitable square. If no
adjustment is needed fully tighten the fence bar nuts. If adjustment is
required this is achieved by raising or lowering either side of the fence rail
until the fence itself is 90º to the table. Once set at 90º fully tighten the
fence bar nuts.
