ASSEMBLY

ALIGNING THE RIP FENCE AND FRONT RAIL

See Figures 17 and 18.

The rip fence scale indicator is installed on the right

side of the rip fence but can be removed and rein
stalled on the left side if needed. If a cutting operation

requires placing the rip fence on the left side of the

blade, and you find relocating the scale indicator

necessary, simply unscrew and re-attach It.

■ Hook the back of the tip fence over the rear rail.

Lower the front of the rip fence into the groove on
the front rail.

■ Slide the rip fence back and forth. It should move

freely with about 1/16 in. clearance between the rip
fence and table surface. If it doesn't, loosen the
nuts holding the front rail and adjust it up or down.

■ Remove the rip fence and repeat on other side of

the blade. When the fence rides smoothly,
tighten all rail hex nuts with a 12 mm wrench.

■ Attach the end caps and screws with a phillips

screwdriver.
