Rip fence (Guide rule)

008681
 
The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate 
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly against 
the side of the workpiece and secure it in position with 
the screw on the front of the base. It also makes 
repeated cuts of uniform width possible. 
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and 
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection 
or maintenance. 
Adjusting for accuracy of 90° cut (vertical cut)
This adjustment has been made at the factory. But if it is 
off, adjust the adjusting screw with a hex wrench while 
squaring the blade with the base using a triangular rule, 
try square, etc.
