1) Install the rip fence so that the fence holder engages
with the nearmost guide rail. To secure the rip fence,
pivot fully the lever on the fence holder.
2) To check to be sure that the rip fence is parallel with
the blade, secure the rip fence 2 - 3 mm (5/64" - 1/8" )
from the blade. Raise the blade up to maximum
elevation. Mark one of the blade teeth with a crayon.
Measure the distance (A) and (B) between the rip fence
and blade. Take both measurements using the tooth
marked with the crayon. These two measurements
should be identical. If the rip fence is not parallel with the
blade, proceed as follows:
