FAILURE TO SET THE RIP FENCE PA RALLEL TO THE BLADE CAN RESULT IN KICKBACK AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY ALIGN THE RIP FENCE PARALLEL TO THE BLADE To make satisfactory rip cuts your fence must be aligned perfectly parallel with the saw blade 1 Slide the fence over to the right T slot on your saw ta ble top A Lock down the fence handle B and make a visual check that the fence is parallel with the T slot all along its length Also you can place a small 3 4 thick block of wood upright into the T slot and slide it from the front to the back checking its distance from the left edge of the fence 2 Ifthe fence is not parallel it can be adjusted by using an Allen key to turn one or both of the screws C or D Do this slowly just an eighth to a quarter turn at a time or you will quickly overshoot the desired adjust ment Note It is always good practice to periodically recheck the alignment of your fence to the blade ALIGN THE RIP FENCE PERPENDICULAR 90 TO THE TABLE Place a machinist square on the table against the fence and look for a gap between the square and the fence bottom and top or the table If needed adjust either of the two plastic set screws E fo tilt the fence slightly and square it to the table LEVEL THE FENCE The fence should be parallel to the table and sit approxi mately 2 mm above the table s surface so the fence will not scratch the table and a thin work piece will not get stuck or j
