C. Using a very soft pencil, mark a line 4 on the disc 3.

Using The Rip Fence Pointer

(only if table is not extended)

The rip fence shows the distance from the blade to rip fence
through a convenient viewing and magnifying window.

Align rip fence pointer 5 with lower portion of scale 6. The lower
scale can be used up to 13 inches (Fig. 26).

Using The Table Pointer

(only if table is extended to max.)

The upper portion of scale is used for rip cut 13 to 24-1/2 inches.
Align table pointer 7 with upper portion of scale 8 (Fig. 27).

Making Rip Cuts Beyond 24-1/2

Inches Without The Use Of Scale

When positioning fence for maximum rip without the use of scale
8, loosen screw 9 and lower plate 10 below the head 11 of the rip
fence 12 (Fig. 27). DO NOT rip or cut dados or moldings with the
fence beyond this position because it cannot be locked.
