Mounting Front Guide Bar
1.Mounting the Front Guide Bar A
(Figure12) to the front of the saw
Table B (Figure12).
2.See the Rip Fence Alignment
instructions. This will address the
mounting of rail and Rip fence.
Rip Fence Alignment
Burning on the waste side of stock and/or the workpiece binding between the rip fence
and the back of the saw, are both indicative of the rip fence being out of square to the
blade. Check by placing a piece of 3/4”stock at the front and another piece at the rear
of the near side of the sawblade. Slide the rip fence up against these to determine
alignment. If necessary adjust the fence using the locking bolts at the back of the fence
rail. So as to prevent the fence casting catching on the fixing studs a distance of 18mm
from the fence bar to the table is required.
To reduce the potential for kickback set the rip fence so that it is slightly farther (about
1/64 in.) from the back of the blade than from the front, so that the rear teeth just miss
the stock being cut.
When adjusting the position fore and aft of the rip fence set the extrusion so that it sits
slightly above the table when clamped up against the fence casting. This will ensure
that the nylon roller underneath the casting remains in contact with the table.
Alternatively the rip fence extrusion may have been bent. Check by placing a straight
edge along its length. Either replace it, or add an auxiliary wood fence and shim it to
even out any imperfections.

Sliding Table Setting & Installation-Option
If the cross cut table is not set parallel to the saw blade this causes heeling; that is ;
the blade is not parallel to the saw cut. Heeling is hard on the blade and can cause
excess vibration .Start by checking that the cross cut shaft is level to the top of the
table . The Two Hex Bolt that are used to fasten the bar to the table and the bar can
therefore be adjusted to suit. To do this, simply follow these direction:
With the rolling table removed. Place a combination square up to the table and take
a measurement from the top edge of the bar Figure. The should have been set at
70mm.Adjust the far end of the bar until it too measures 70mm.
