groove. Check and adjust the parallel of the rip fence by the following
procedures, in order, to have accurate work and prevent kickback when
ripping. Before adjustment of rip fence, check and adjust slider (it is
assembled under the width body) to engage with the groove on front rail.
a.
Raise the grip to the upside and release the fixation of the rip fence.
(Fig. 16-a)
b. Position the rip fence at one edge of the miter gauge groove.
c. Lower the grip to the bottom and fix the rip fence. The edge of the rip
fence should line up parallel with the miter gauge groove.

-
loosen the four 6 mm hex. head bolts securing the parallel
bracket to the width body and support.
- raise the grip to the upside and release the fixation of the rip
fence. Align the rip fence parallel to the miter gauge groove.
Lower the grip to the bottom and fix the rip fence.
