Aligning Rip Fence
To prevent personal injury, always disconnect
plug from power source before making any
adjustments. The rip fence must be parallel with the SAWBLADE
in order to prevent KICKBACK when ripping.
Your table saw is equipped with a Self-Aligning, Quick-Set rip
fence. Once the adjustments below have been made, the rip fence
will self align when the fence is locked into position.
1. The blade must be parallel with the miter gauge slots and be
perpendicular to table before proceeding with rip fence alignment.
2. To move the rip fence 2, raise lock handle 1 slide to desired
position, and lock by pressing lock handle 1 down.
To prevent personal injury, always make sure the
rip fence is locked before using when making rip
cuts.
3. Slide fence 2 by handle 1, until it is alongside the sawblade (Fig. 12).
The fence should touch the “SET” teeth at the front and rear of the
blade. If fence does not touch the teeth at front and rear of blade
follow the steps below.
4. Loosen the two screws 3 on the top front section of the rip
fence.
5. Move fence 2 until it touches the teeth and is parallel to the
blade.
6. Hold fence in place and lower lock handle, check to make sure
the fence stayed parallel to the blade then tighten screws (Fig. 12).
7. Clamp rip fence to check if it holds securely at front and rear. If
rear is not clamped securely, unclamp fence and turn rear clamp
adjustment screw 4 clockwise for increased clamping. Try
clamping the fence to verify if it self aligns and clamps tightly at
the front and rear. Overtightening of the rear clamp adjustment
screw 4 will cause the rip fence to be non-self aligning (Fig. 12).
Rip Fence Pointer Adjustment
The distance of the rip fence body from the blade when ripping on
the right side of the blade is determined by lining the pointer 5 with
the desired dimension on the scale 6. To set the rip fence pointer
5, slide fence until it bearly contacts right side of blade, loosen
pointer adjustment screw 7, adjust pointer 5 to “0” mark on lower
scale 6 and tighten screw 7.
Miter Gauge Adjustment
When cross cutting and the blade set at 90º or 45º to the table, the
miter gauge can be used in either slot on the table. When cross
cutting and the blade is tilted, use slot on right side of table where
the blade is tilted away from your hands and miter gauge.
1. To adjust the miter gauge, loosen lock knob 8 and set the miter
gauge body 9 so the pointer 11 is at desired angle, then tighten
lock knob 8 (Fig. 14).
2. Make a cut on a piece of scrap wood. Check it with a square to
see if the piece of wood was cut at 90° (Fig. 14). If the piece of
wood was not cut 90°, adjust the miter gauge body 9, tighten lock
knob 8 and make additional cuts until you are certain you have
made a 90° cut. If pointer 11 is not pointing to 90°, loosen set
screw 15 adjust pointer and tighten set screw 15.
3. The miter gauge body 9 will stop at 90º and 45º both right and
left. To rotate the miter gauge body 9 beyond these points, the
stop 10 must be flipped out of the way.
Your miter gauge is also equipped with adjustable stops 12 at 90º
and 45º both right and left. To adjust stops, loosen lock nuts 13
and rotate adjustment screw 14 clockwise or counter clockwise so
it rest against the stop 10 at desired angle on scale and securely
tighten lock nut 13 .
