OWNER’S MANUAL
T-GlideTM Fence System-
Professional Series

1. You must install a rip fence before using your saw. Attempting to use the saw without the rip fence could result
in serious personal injury.
2. Always use a rip fence when making rip cuts. Never perform a ripping operation freehand or a serious injury
may result.
3. Always use a push stick or push block when your hand comes within 6 inches of the blade. Attempting to use
the rip fence for narrow cuts without a push stick or push block could result in a serious personal injury.
4. Do not use the miter gauge when making rip cuts.
5. While making bevel cuts, use the fence only on the right side of the saw blade to prevent the blade from
possibly contacting the fence. The brake will activate if the spinning saw blade comes into contact with the
metal in the fence.

• Locate the front rail, the rear rail, and theT-Glide rails hardware
pack.All of the hardware needed to install the rails is located on
theT-Glide rails hardware pack and is shipped in the T-Glide
fence box. In order to easily identify the hardware used in each
of the following steps, the differentpieces of hardware are
numbered on the hardware pack and in the figures.
•Align the front rail (the larger of the two rails) with the front edge
of the table top so the cut-outs at the top of the rail are centered
on the miter gauge slots in the table and so the holes in the rail
align with the holes along the front edge of the table and
extension wings. Remove six M8 x 25 countersunk socket
head bolts from the T-Glide rails hardware pack and insert
one through each of the holes in the rail and table.

• Place an M8.5 x 23 washer and an M8 lock washer
on the back of each of the six M8 x 25 countersunk
socket head bolts , and then thread an M8 hex nut on
each bolt. Hand tighten the nuts; do not fully tighten them.

•The holes in the front edge of the table and extension wings are
slightly larger than the bolts they receive to allow you to level the
front rail and extension wings to the table top.Align the top of
the front rail with the lower edge of the bevel on the front edge
of the table top. Use a 5 mm hex key and a 13 mm wrench to
fully tighten the nuts on the back of the four bolts that extend
through the table top. Do not tighten the nuts on the bolts that
extend through the extension wings.

• Use a straight-edge to level the front edge of the left extension
wing to the cast iron table top.You may have to pull up or push
down on the outer edge of the extension wing to level it. Once
the front edge of the left extension wing is level, use a 5 mm hex
key and a 13 mm wrench to fully tighten the nut on the bolt that
mounts the left extension wing to the front rail. Repeat this
process to level the front edge of the right extension wing.
•Align the rear rail (the smaller of the two rails) with the rear
edge of the table top so the cut-outs at the top of the rail are
centered on the miter gauge slots in the table and so the holes
in the rail align with the holes along the back edge of the table
and extension wings. Notice that the holes in the table are
threaded but the holes in the extension wings are not. Remove
four M8 x 16 countersunk socket head screws from the
T-Gliderails hardware pack and thread one through each of the

• Once the rails are in place you can mount the extension table to
the rails, but first you must mount the support leg or legs to the
extension table.The extension table for the 36” fence system has
one support leg and the extension table for the 52” fence system
has two. Locate the support legs, the angle brackets, and the
T-Glidetable hardware pack. Begin by installing the adjustable
foot in the bottom of each support leg.Thread an M8 nut onto
the threaded shaft of the foot as close to the rubber base as
possible, and then thread the foot into the bottom of the support
leg as far as possible.

• Each support leg is mounted to the underside of the extension
table using two angle brackets.Align the two holes in the
support leg to the two holes in the brackets. Put one of the
M10 x 45 hex head bolts through each hole in the leg and
brackets.Thread an M10 nylon lock nut on each bolt and
tighten with a 17 mm wrench.You will need to hold the head of
the hex bolt with another 17 mm wrench to tighten the lock nut.
Do not fully tighten the nuts; leave them just loose enough to be
able to move the brackets.

• Mount the angle brackets to the underside of the extension
table using three M4 x 16 Phillips head screws per bracket.
The underside of the extension table is pre-drilled to receive the
screws. Be careful not to overtighten the screws because you
may strip the threads in the wood. Once all the brackets
have been mounted to the table, fully tighten the
M10 nyl on lock nuts that secure the legs to the brackets.

WARNING
Do not remove the dust shroud because
the blade will be exposed. If you contact the
blade under the table, the blade may retract
toward you and cause a severe injury.

Fig. 8
8. Use a straight-edge to level the rear edge of the
left extension wing to the cast iron table top (see
Fig. 8). You may have to pull up or push down on
the outer edge of the extension wing to level it.
Once the rear edge of the left extension wing is
level, use a 5 mm hex key and a 13 mm wrench
to fully tighten the nut on the bolt that mounts
the left extension wing to the rear rail. Repeat
this process to level the rear edge of the right
extension wing.
9. Once the rails are in place you can mount the extension
table to the rails, but rst you must mount the support
leg or legs to the extension table. The extension
table for the 36” fence system has one support leg
and the extension table for the 52” fence system has
two. Locate the support legs, the angle brackets, and
the T-Glide table hardware pack. Begin by installing
the adjustable foot in the bottom of each support leg.
Thread an M8 nut onto the threaded shaft of the foot
as close to the rubber base as possible, and then
thread the foot into the bottom of the support leg as
far as possible (see Fig. 9).
Fig. 9
Fig. 10
10. Each support leg is mounted to the underside of the extension table using two angle brackets. Align the two
holes in the support leg to the two holes in the brackets as shown in Fig. 10. Put one of the M10 x 45 hex head
bolts through each hole in the leg and brackets.
Thread an M10 nylon lock nut on each bolt and
tighten with a 17 mm wrench. You will need to
hold the head of the hex bolt with another 17
mm wrench to tighten the lock nut. Do not fully
tighten the nuts; leave them just loose enough to
be able to move the brackets.

11. Mount the angle brackets to the underside of the extension
table using three M4 x 16 Phillips head screws per bracket (see
Fig. 11). The underside of the extension table is pre-drilled to
receive the screws. Be careful not to overtighten the screws
because you may strip the threads in the wood. Once all the
brackets have been mounted to the table, fully tighten the M10
nylon lock nuts that secure the legs to the brackets.
Fig. 11
12. The next step of the assembly is easiest with two people. Position the extension table between the front and
rear rails. The support legs should be at the far end of the rails, away from the saw (see Fig. 12). If you are
having trouble tting the table between the rails you can loosen the screws and bolts that mount the rear rail
to the saw so that you can move the rear rail out slightly while you position the extension table between the
front and rear rails. Align the holes in the front and rear rails with the notches in the front and rear edges of the
extension table.

through the notches in the front and rear edges of the extension table. Place an M8.5 x 23 washer and an
M8 lock washer on the back of each bolt and then thread an M8 hex nut on each bolt (see Fig. 13). Hand
tighten the nuts; do not fully tighten them.
14. If you loosened the rear rail in step 12, tighten it now. If necessary, level the extension wings before tightening
(see step 8 for information about leveling the extension wings). Once the rear rail is tightened, make sure
the extension table is ush against the right extension wing and there is no gap between them. Then, use a
straight-edge to level the front edge of the extension table to the cast iron table top (see Fig. 14). You may have
to pull up or push down on the outer edge of the extension table to level it. Once the front edge of the extension
table is level, use a 5 mm hex key and a 13 mm wrench to fully tighten the nuts on the bolts that mount the
extension table to the front rail.

17. Locate the front tube and the M8 x 16 hex head screws with attached washers from the T-Glide rails hardware
pack. Position the tube on the horizontal portion of the front rail with the rulers facing up and the 12 inch ruler
on the left side. The powder coated surfaces of the tube and rail can be slick, so be careful that the tube does
not fall off the rail. Align the holes in the rail with the holes in the bottom of the tube. Thread the M8 x 16 hex
head screws through the rail and into the threaded holes in the bottom of the tube (see Fig. 17). Hand tighten
the screws; do not fully tighten them.

21. Once the fence is tightly clamped to the
front tube, move the left end of the tube back
toward the saw until there is only a small gap
(approximately 1/16”) between the front rail and
the rear of the fence (see Fig. 21). Tighten the
left-most M8 x 16 hex head screw that holds the
tube to the front rail using a 13 mm wrench.
22. Next, move the fence to the right end of the tube, repeat the above process to position the tube, and tighten
the right-most screw (see Fig. 22). Once both ends of the tube are adjusted correctly, tighten the remaining
M8 x 16 hex head screws to mount the front tube to the front rail. The fence should now slide smoothly along
the front tube without binding and without excessive play.

Using Your T-Glide Fence System
The precise width of cut is shown by the indicator lenses on the front of the fence (see Fig. 24). The lens on the
left indicates the width of cut when the fence is on the left side of the blade. The lens on the right indicates the
width of cut when the fence is on the right side of the blade. Each indicator lens is positioned above a ruler on
the front tube. Each lens has a red cursor line that indicates the precise width of cut. To read the width of cut,
look down at the cursor line. The mark on the ruler that is directly below the cursor line is the width of cut.
Adjust the position of the fence until the cursor is directly over the desired width of the cut. Once the fence is in
the correct position, push the red locking handle down to the locked position. The fence is now locked in place
and ready for use.
The rip fence included with your T-Glide Fence System is used to guide material parallel to the blade when you
make rip cuts (cuts that are length-wise along the grain of the wood). The fence must always be used when
making rip cuts. The fence also allows you to precisely set the width of your rip cuts.
To use the rip fence, begin by placing it on the
table so that the fence glide bracket is resting
on the upper rear edge of the front tube. You
can use the fence on either the left or right
side of the blade for non-bevel cuts. If you
plan to make bevel cuts, use the fence only
on the right side to prevent the blade from
possibly contacting the fence. After placing
the fence on the rails, lift the red handle up
to the unlocked position (see Fig. 23) and
slide the fence to the left or right until the
distance between the blade and the fence is
approximately equal to the desired width of
cut.

12 SawStop T-Glide Fence System - Professional Series

Adjusting Your T-Glide Fence System
The next step is to adjust the face plates to
be perpendicular to the table top. The angle
between the face plates and the table is set by
the two plastic leveling screws in the horizontal
edge of the cross-bracket (see Fig. 26).
Although the fence is factory-adjusted to
nominal settings, it is usually necessary to
make nal adjustments once your rails and
extension table have been installed on the
saw.
The rst step is to align the face plates to be
parallel to the miter slots. Begin by sliding the
fence along the front tube until the left face
plate is ush with the right edge of the right
miter slot. Lock the fence handle and check
that the face plate is ush with the miter slot
edge along its whole length (see Fig. 25). You
can check this either visually or by running
your nger along the face plate and miter slot
edge. If there is any misalignment, you can
correct it by turning one of the two parallelism
adjustment screws in the vertical edge of the
fence cross-bracket (see Fig. 20).
Fig. 25
Fig. 26
Place a combination square on the table top
and against the left face plate (see Fig. 27).
Use a 6 mm hex key to adjust the leveling
screws as necessary until the face plate is
parallel to the vertical edge of the combination
square.

Adjusting Your T-Glide Fence System
If necessary, you can adjust both of the plastic leveling screws to ensure the position indicator lenses are close,
but do not touch the front tube or rulers.
The last step is to set the spacing between the bottom of each face plate and the table. The face plates are
held in place by a series of screws threaded into nuts embedded in the face plates. The heads of the screws
t into key-hole slots in the sides of the fence (see Fig. 28).
It is usually possible to adjust the position of the face plates by lightly tapping the top or bottom edge of the face
plates with a plastic or wooden mallet. However, if the face plates do not move when tapped, you can loosen
the mounting screws as described below to adjust the face plates.
If the right face plate needs to be adjusted, you must rst
remove the left face plate. Begin by laying the fence on
the table with the left face plate facing down. You can
access the screws for the left face plate through the slots
on the bottom of the fence. Insert a ball-end hex wrench
through the slot at the end of the fence and into the screw
head (see Fig. 29). Loosen the screw but do not unthread
it completely. Continue this process with each slot/screw
pair. It may be helpful to shine a ashlight down the end
of the tube to illuminate the screw heads. Once all the
screws are loosened, push the face plate downward to
align the screw heads with the large portion of the key-
hole slots, and then pull the face plate off the fence.

Adjusting Your T-Glide Fence System
Once the left face plate has been removed, you can access the screws for the right face plate through the key-
hole slots for the left face plate (see Fig. 30). Loosen each screw in the right face plate just enough to allow the
face plate to slide against the fence, but tight enough so the face plate does not move freely. Install the fence
on the front tube and position the right face plate as desired, making sure to leave at least a small gap between
the bottom of the face plate and the table so the face
plate does not drag on the table.
Next, carefully lift the fence off the front tube and place
it on the table with the right face plate facing down.
Make sure not to move the face plate from the position
you set it. If necessary you can clamp the face plate to
the fence to keep the face plate from moving. Tighten
each screw to lock the right face plate in position.
Make sure not to over-tighten these screws as it
that may cause a slight concavity in the surface of
the face plate near the screw.
Replace the left face plate onto the fence and install
the fence on the front tube. Adjust the position of the
left face plate as desired. Lift the fence off the tube
and set it on the table with the left face plate down,
making sure the position of the face plate doesn’t
move. Tighten the screws to lock the left face plate
onto the fence.
Fig. 30
If necessary, you can adjust the position of the
indicator lenses on the front of the fence. To verify
the position of each indicator lens, clamp the
fence to the front tube and use a ruler to measure
the distance from the blade to the fence plate and
compare it to the measurement shown on the
proper indicator lens. If adjustment is necessary,
loosen the two Phillips screws shown in Fig. 31
and slide the indicator lens to right or left until the
cursor is directly over the correct measurement.
Tighten the screws to lock the position of the
indicator lens. Your fence is now fully adjusted
and ready to use.
