This kit also includes connectors and hardware required for
attaching a long rip fence to your saw. If you have been using
this kit as a long miter fence, it will be necessary to remove
all connectors, brackets, hardware, etc. If you are assembling
for the first time, proceed as follows.
ASSEMBLE THE LONG RIP FENCE
See Figures 6, 7, and 8.
The long rip fence rail attaches to the existing rip fence on
your table saw, to provide a long extension rail when ripping
large panels and long pieces of work.

Place the long rip fence rail on the saw table.
IMPORTANT: Rail must be oriented exactly as shown
for proper assembly of all parts. Drilled holes in the rail
are on the top channel when using as a long rip fence.
They are in the bottom channel when using the rail as a
long miter fence.
 Slide two of the special T-nuts into the top channel of
the long rip fence rail. T-nuts will be used to secure the
connectors. The T-nuts must be placed in the channel
before assembling the plastite screws. Plastite screws
trap the T-nuts inside the channel.

 Place a saw gage into each end of long miter fence rail.
Correct orientation of saw gage to rail is important. Align
the slot in the saw gage with the slot in the rail.
 Secure each saw gage to the rail with plastite screws
provided. The long rip fence rail has holes drilled on the
top at each end. Place screws through these holes and
thread into the pilot holes in the saw gage.
Note: If the screw holes in the saw gages become stripped
after extended use, turn the saw gages over and secure
to the opposite ends of the rail. Pilot holes have been
drilled on both the top and bottom of the saw gages.
 Tighten the screws securely.
 Slide two of the T-nuts into the top channel of your saw's
rip fence. T-nuts will be used to secure the connectors.
The T-nuts must be placed in the channel from the rear
of the saw. See Figure 7.

 Attach the long rip fence to the existing rip fence on the
saw with two connectors.
 Secure the connectors using 5/16 in. washers and hex
bolts (1/2 in.).
 Tighten bolts securely.
COMPLETED LONG RIP FENCE ASSEMBLY
See Figure 8.
After assembling all the parts, your long rip fence should
be similar to the illustration shown in figure 9. Recheck
all necessary steps. Recheck all bolts and screws for
tightness.
