This kit also includes connectorsand hardware
required for attaching a long rip fence to your saw. If
you have been using this kit as a long miter fence, it
will be necessary to remove all connectors, brackets,
hardware, etc. If you are assembling for the first time,
proceed as follows.
ASSEMBLE
THE LONG RIP FENCE
See Figures 7, 8, and 9.
The long rip fence rail attaches to the existing rip fence
on your table saw, to provide a long extension rail
when rippinglarge panels and long pieces of work.
•
Place the long rip fence rail on the sew table. See
Figure 7. IMPORTANT: Rail must be oriented
exactly as shown for proper assembly of all
parts. Drilled holes in the rail are on the top
channel when using as a long rip fence. They are
in the bottom channel when using the railas a long
miter fence.
•
Slide two of the special 5/16 in. t-nuts into the top
channel of the long rip fence rail. T-nuts willbe
used to secure the connectors. The t-nuts must be
placed in the channel before assembling the saw
gage screws. Saw gage screws trap the t-nuts
inside the channel.
•
Place a saw gage into each end of long miter fence
rail. Correct orientation of saw gage to rail is
important. Align the slot in the saw gage with the
slot in the rail. See Figure 7.

Note: If the screw holes in the saw gages become
stripped after extended use, turn the saw gages
over and secure to the oppositeends of the rail.
Pilot holes have been drilled on both the top and
bottom of the sew gages.
•
Tighten the screws securely.
•
Slide two of the special 5/16 in. t-nuts into the top
channel of your sew's rip fence. T-nuts will be used
to secure the connectors, The t-nuts must be
placed in the channel from the rear of the saw,
See Figure 8.
•
Attach the long rip fence to the existing rip fence
on the saw with two connectors. See Figure 8.
