FENCE OPERATION
1. Before operating fence, make sure the fence is
adjusted p arallel to miter gage slot, as explained later on
in this manual.
2. For most normal ripping operations of st andard size
lumber the fence is used in the vertical position, as
shown in Fig. 50.
3. When ripping thin stock, it is sometimes more con -
venient to use the fence in the horizont al position, as
shown in Fig. 51.
4. To move the fence along the guide rail, simply lif t up
clamp lever (A), as shown in Fig. 52, slide fence to
desired position on the rail, and push down on clamp
lever (A) to lock fence in place.
5. The dist ance the fence is positioned away from the
blade is indicated by the two witness lines (B) and (C)
Fig. 53, located on the cursor (D). The witness lines (B)
and (C) easily indicate the dist ance the fence is posi -
tioned away from the saw blade. W itness line (B) indi -
cates the dist ance the fence is away from the blade when
the fence is in the horizont al position, and witness line
(C) indicates the dist ance the fence is away from the
blade when the fence is in the vertical position. If it is
necessary to adjust cursor (D), make a test cut with the
fence in either the vertical or horizont al position, meas-
ure the dist ance of the finished cut and move the cursor
(D) by loosening the two screws (E) Fig. 53. Af ter adjust -
ment is completed tighten the two screws (E).
6. To remove the fence and fence body assembly (F)
Fig. 54, from the guide rail, lif t up on fence clamping lever
(A) and turn lever (A) to the lef t indent position. The fence

RIPPING WITH
THE UNIFENCE
Ripping is the operation of making a lengthwise cut
through a board, as shown in Fig. 55, and the rip fence
(A) is used to position and guide the work. One edge of
the work rides against the rip fence while the flat side of
the board rest s on the t able. Since the work is pushed
along the fence, it must have a straight edge and make
solid cont act with the t able. The saw blade guard must be
used. On Delt a saws, the guard has anti-kickback
fingers to prevent kickback and a splitter to prevent the
saw kerf from closing and binding the blade.
Never st and in the line of the saw cut when ripping. Hold
the work with both hands and push it along the fence and
into the saw blade as shown in Fig. 55. The work can
then be fed through the saw blade with one or two hands.
Af ter the work is beyond the saw blade and anti-kickback
fingers, the hand is removed from the work. When this is
done the work will either st ay on the t able, tilt up slightly
and be caught by the end of the rear guard or slide of f the
table to the floor .Alternately , the feed can continue to the
end of the t able, af ter which the work is lif ted and brought
along the out side edge of the fence. The cut-of f stock
remains on the t able and is not touched with the hands
until the saw blade is stopped, unless it is a large piece
allowing safe removal. When ripping boards longer than
three feet, it is recommended that a work support be
used at the rear of the saw to keep the workpiece from
falling of f the saw t able.
If the ripped work is less than 4 inches wide, a push stick
should always be used to complete the feed, as shown
in Fig. 56. The push stick can easily be made from scrap
material as explained in the section CONSTRUCTING
PUSH STICK. When ripping stock 2 inches or narrowe r,
assemble an auxiliary wood facing to the fence, as
explained in the section USING AUXILIARY WOOD
FACING ON THE UNIFENCE and use a push stick.
When ripping material with a veneer facing that extends
over the material, the fence (A) should be in the horizon -
tal position with the veneer (B) extending over the lip of
the fence, as shown in Fig. 57.
When ripping material with a veneer facing and the
material is not thick enough for the veneer to extend over
the lip of the fence or if the veneer facing (B) is on both
sides of the material, as shown in Fig. 58, the fence can
be positioned slightly above the surface of the t able. T h e
veneer can be placed between the fence and the t able
or the veneer can straddle the fence with the material
solidly against the fence, as shown.

ADJUSTING FENCE
PARALLEL TO
MITER GAGE SLOTS
The fence (A) Fig. 59, should be adjusted so it is p arallel
to miter gage slot s (B). To check and adjust, move the
fence (A) until the bottom front edge of the fence is in line
with the edge of the miter gage slot as shown, and push
down on fence clamping lever (C). Check to see if the
fence is p arallel to the miter gage slot the entire length of
the t able. If the rear of the fence must be moved, slightly
tighten or loosen one of the adjustment plugs (D) or (E)
Fig. 59, using the arbor wrench or 7/8 wrench, until the
fence is p arallel with the miter gage slot. IMPORTANT:
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN ADJUSTMENT PLUGS (D)
AND (E) FIG. 59. VERY LITTLE MOVEMENT OF THESE
ADJUSTMENT PLUGS IS NECESSARY WHEN AD-
JUSTING THE FENCE PARALLEL WITH THE MITER
GAGE SLOT.
ADJUSTING FENCE
90 DEGREES TO TABLE
The fence must be adjusted so that the face of fence (A)
Fig. 60, is 90 degrees to the t able. T o check if the fence
is 90 degrees to the t able, place a square (B) on the t able
with one end of the square against the fence, as shown.
If an adjustment is necessary, tighten or loosen one of
two screws (C) or (D) using the wrench supplied, until the
fence is 90 degrees to the t able. IMPORTANT: VERY
LITTLE MOVEMENT OF THESE SCREWS (C) AND (D)
IS NECESSARY TO MAKE THIS ADJUSTMENT.

USING THE FENCE AS A CUT-OFF GAGE
RIPPING ON LEFT SIDE
OF SAW BLADE
In some cases it may be desirable to use the fence on
the lef t side of the saw blade. This is easily accomplished
by repositioning the fence (A) Figures 63 and 64, fence
clamp bar (B) and lock knobs (C) so that the fence (A)
will be att ached to the right side of the fence body , as
shown in Fig. 64. The complete fence assembly (D)
Fig. 64, can easily be moved to the lef t side of the saw
table.
The fence can be used as a cut-of f gage when cross
cutting a number of pieces to the same length. IMPOR-
TA N T: When using the fence as a cut-of f gage, it is very
import ant that the rear end of the fence be positioned in
front of the saw blade. When using the fence as a cut-of f
gage, simply position the fence (A) to the front as shown
in Fig. 65, or purchase the accessory 34-878, 12 long
fence (B), as shown in Fig. 66. Fig. 67, illustrates a
typical operation using the accessory 34-878 12 long
fence (B) as a cut-of f gage.
