ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid injury from an accidental start, make sure the

switch is in the OFF position and the plug is not

connected to the power source, before making any

adjustments.

ADJUSTING THE TABLE EXTENSION (FIG. N)

NOTE: The table extension may be installed on the right

side of the table, as needed, to support long workpiece.

To adjust the table extension position

1. Loosen the two clamp bolts (4) on the two extension

tube brackets.

2. Slide the extension tubes in or out until the scale on

the front tube is positioned at the desired distance.

Tighten the two clamp bolts.

3. To adjust fence position, loosen lock handles (5) and

position auxiliary fence (6).

4. Tighten lock handles (5).

MITER GAUGE ADJUSTMENT (FIG. O)

1. Make sure that the miter gauge will slide freely

through both table grooves.

2. Loosen the lock knob (1). Set the pointer (2) to the

90° mark on the scale.

3. Make a 90° cut in a piece of scrap wood. Check cut

piece to see if it was cut at 90 °. If it is not, continue

to adjust the miter gauge body (3) until the wood

piece is cut at 90°. Refer to OPERATION section for

cutting instructions.

RIP FENCE ADJUSTMENT (FIG. P)

1. The fence (1) is moved by lifting up on the handle (2)

and sliding the fence to the desired location. Pushing

down on the handle locks the fence in position.

2. Position the fence on the right side of the table, and

along one edge of the miter gauge grooves.

3. Lock the fence handle. The fence should be parallel

with the miter gauge groove.

4. If adjustment is needed to make the fence parallel to

the groove, do the following:

• Loosen the two screws (3) and lift up on the handle

(2).

• Hold the fence bracket (4) firmly against the front of

the saw table. Move the far end of the fence until it

is parallel with the miter gauge groove.

• Tighten both screws and push the handle to lock.

5. If fence is loose when the handle is in the locked

(downward) position, do the following:

• Move the handle (2) upward and turn the adjusting

screw (5) clockwise until the rear clamp is snug. Do

not turn the adjusting screw more than 1/4 turn at a

time.

Over-tightening the adjusting screw will cause the fence

to come out of alignment.

2--

Failure to properly align fence can cause "kickback"

and serious injury.

RIP FENCE INDICATOR ADJUSTMENT (FIG. P)

1. The rip fence indicator (6) points to the measurement

scale (8). The scale shows the distance from the side

of the fence to nearest side of the blade.

2. Measure the actual distance with a rule. If there is a

difference between the measurement and the

indicator, adjust the indicator (6).

Loosen the screw (7) and slide the indicator to the

correct measurement on the scale. Tighten the screw

and re-measure with the rule.
