Unpacking Your Fence Assembly While unpacking your fence assembly verify that all the components shown on this page are included. Use care when unpacking your fence assembly to prevent damage to any of the components.
Installing Your Fence Assembly Note: Your contractor saw must be fully assembled before installing the fence assembly. 1. Locate the front rail, the left and right rear rails, and hardware pack #3 (see Fig. 1). All of the hardware needed to install the rails is located on hardware pack #3. In order to easily identify the hardware used in each of the following steps, the different pieces of hardware are numbered on the hardware pack and in the figures.
Installing Your Fence Assembly 4. Place an M8 lock washer and thread an M8 hex nut on the back of each of the eight square head screws (see Fig. 4), but do not fully tighten the nuts at this time. Position the front rail so that the left end of the rail extends about 3⁄4 inch past the edge of the left extension wing. 17 18 Fig. 4 5.
Installing Your Fence Assembly 7. Use a straight-edge to level the rear edge of the left extension wing to the cast iron table top (see Fig. 7). 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 13 mm wrenches to fully tighten the hardware that mounts the left rear rail. Repeat this process to level the rear edge of the right extension wing and to secure the right rear rail to the saw. straight-edge Fig.
Installing Your Fence Assembly 10. The two large storage hooks mount to the material support shelf, and can be used to store the fence when not in use. Use two M8 x 20 carriage bolts, two M8 lock washers, and two M8 hex nuts to mount the hooks to the right side of the material support shelf (see Fig. 10). Fully tighten the nuts using a 13 mm wrench. 17 18 20 Fig. 10 11. The two small storage hooks also mount to the material support shelf, and can be used to store the miter gauge when not in use.
Installing Your Fence Assembly 13. Position the fence on the table and to the right of the blade. Make sure the clamp at the rear of the fence engages the rear rail (see Fig. 13), and that the front of the fence engages the front rail. !

Wear eye protection.
Installing Your Fence Assembly 15. With the fence unclamped and still against the right side of the saw blade, gently tap one end of the front rail with a rubber hammer or mallet to move the rail to the right or left until the cursor on the right fence scale is aligned with zero on the underlying ruler (see Fig. 15). Be careful to tap the front rail gently or the plastic cap at the end of the rail may be damaged. Once the right fence scale reads zero the front rail is in the correct position.
Using Your Rip Fence The rip fence included with your contractor saw 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. When not in use, you can store the fence on the two fence storage hooks mounted to the material support shelf (see Fig. 17) rip fence in storage location Fig.
Adjusting Your Rip Fence The fence should be securely locked to the rails when the red handle is in the downward locked position. If the fence locks tightly and cannot be easily moved, no further adjustment is necessary. However, if the fence does not lock tightly, or if the fence locks too tightly, you will need to adjust the clamping force applied by the fence. If adjustment is necessary, the clamping force is set by the 10 mm hex nut in the end of the fence (see Fig. 20).
