SawStop T-Glide Fence System - Manual (Page 25)

Adjusting Your T-Glide Fence System
Install the fence on the front tube and position the face plate as desired, making sure to leave at least a small
gap between the bottom of the face plate and the table so the face plate does not drag on the table. It may be
necessary to loosen and raise the other face plate as well if it is too low and interferes with the adjustment.
Next, carefully lift the fence off the front tube and place it on the table with the newly adjusted face plate facing
down. Make sure not to move the face plate from the position you set. If necessary you can clamp the face
plate to the fence to keep the face plate from moving. Tighten each screw to lock the face plate in position.
Make sure not to over-tighten these screws as that may cause a slight concavity in the surface of the
face plate near the screw.
Now adjust the position of the other face plate if necessary.
Congratulations, your fence system is now
installed and your saw is ready to use.
Using Your T-Glide Fence System
The rip fence included with your T-Glide Fence System is used to guide material parallel to the blade when you
make rip cuts (cuts that are length-wise along the grain of the wood). The fence must always be used when
making rip cuts.
To use the rip fence, begin by placing it
on the table so that the fence bracket is
resting on the upper rear edge of the front
tube. You can use the fence on either the
left or right side of the blade for non-bevel
cuts. If you plan to make bevel cuts, use the
fence only on the right side to prevent the
blade from possibly contacting the fence.
After placing the fence on the rails, lift the
red handle up to the unlocked position and
slide the fence to the left or right until the
distance between the blade and the fence
is approximately equal to the desired width
of cut. Adjust the position of the fence until
the cursor on the indicator lens is directly
over the desired width of the cut. Use the lens on the left when the fence is on the left side of the blade and use
the lens on the right when the fence is on the right side of the blade. Once the fence is in the correct position,
push the red locking handle down to the locked position (see Fig. 31). The fence is now locked in place and
ready for use.
