OPERATION
TO USE THE RIP FENCE
See Figure 21.

Place the front lip on the front rail and push slightly toward
the rear of the unit.
 Lower the rear of the rip fence onto the guide
surfaces on top of the rear rail.
 Push the locking lever down to automatically align and
secure the fence.
Check for a smooth gliding action. If adjustments are needed,
see
To Check the Alignment of the Rip Fence to the Blade
in the Adjustment section of this manual.
TO USE THE MITER GAUGE
See Figure 22.
���The miter gauge provides greater accuracy in angled cuts.
For very close tolerances, test cuts are recommended.
There are two miter gauge channels, one on either side of
the blade. When making a 90° cross cut, you can use either
miter gauge channel. When making a beveled cross cut (the
blade tilted in relation to the table) the miter gauge should
be located in the slot on the right so that the blade is tilted
away from the miter gauge and your hands.
The miter gauge can be turned 60° to the right or left.

Loosen the lock knob.
 With the miter gauge in the miter gauge slot, rotate the
gauge until the desired angle is reached on the scale.
 Retighten the lock knob.
TO USE OUTFEED SUPPORT
See Figure 23.
The outfeed support slides to give the operator additional
support for cutting long workpieces.

With the table saw in the OFF ( ) position, stand behind
the saw.
 Grasp the outfeed support with both hands and pull the
outfeed support until it is fully extended.
TO USE SLIDING TABLE EXTENSION
See Figure 24.
The sliding table extension provides the operator with
additional table width for supporting wider workpieces.

Set the rip fence to 19 in.
 Loosen the table extension knobs beneath the sliding
table extension by turning them counterclockwise.
 Using the extension scale window, grasp the sliding table
extension with both hands and pull the sliding extension
table until it indicates the desired measurement.
NOTE: The sliding extension table will extend to 27 in. of
rip capacity.
 Retighten the table extension knobs.
