ADJUSTMENTS
TO CHECK THE ALIGNMENT OF THE RIP FENCE
TO THE BLADE
See Figure 51.
■ Unplug the saw.
■ Raise the locking lever to permit the rip fence to be
moved.
■ Place a framing square beside the blade and move the
rip fence up to the square. Take the dimension on the
rip scale.
■ Move the fence back and turn the framing square 180°
to check the other side.
■ If the two dimensions are not the same, loosen the two
bolts on the fence and align it.
■ Retighten the two bolts.
■ Make two or three test cuts on scrap wood. If the cuts
are not true, repeat the process.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
Mk
WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating
oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemi­
cals can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic which
may result in serious personal injury.
■ Periodically check all clamps, nuts, bolts, and screws
for tightness and condition. Make sure the throat plate
is in good condition and in position.
■ Check the blade guard assembly.
■ To maintain the table surfaces, fence, and rails,
periodically apply paste wax to them and buff to
provide smooth functioning.
■ Protect the blade by cleaning out sawdust from
underneath the table and in the blade teeth. Use a
resin solvent on the blade teeth.
■ Clean plastic parts only with a soft damp cloth. DO
NOT use any aerosol or petroleum solvents.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a suffi­
cient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit
under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further
lubrication is required.
