Adjusting Your Rip Fence

right indicatorleft indicator
The fence allows you to precisely set the width of your rip cuts (cuts that are length-wise along the grain of the
wood). The precise width of cut is shown by the indicator lenses on the front of the fence (see Fig. 19). The
lens on the left indicates the width of cut when the fence is on the left side of the blade. The lens on the right
indicates the width of cut when the fence is on the right side of the blade. Each indicator lens is positioned
above a ruler on the front tube. Each lens has a red cursor line that indicates the precise width of cut. To read
the width of cut, look down at the cursor line. The mark on the ruler that is directly below the cursor line is the
width of cut.
Although the fence is factory-adjusted to nominal settings, it is usually necessary to make nal adjustments
once your rails and extension table have been installed on the saw.
If necessary, you can adjust the position of the
indicator lenses on the front of the fence. To verify
the position of each indicator lens, press down on
the red fence handle to clamp the fence to the main
tube and use a ruler to measure the distance from
the blade to the fence plate and compare it to the
measurement shown on the proper indicator lens.
If adjustment is necessary, loosen the two Phillips
screws shown in Fig. 20 and slide the indicator lens
to the right or left until the cursor is directly over the
correct measurement. Tighten the screws to lock the
position of the indicator lens.
