See Figure 28.
The rip scale indicators on the arm show the distance
between
the blade and the rip fence with the fence in
the front and rear positions.
The upper scale is used
when the fence is positioned
directly
behind the front
table. The lower scale is used when the fence
is at the
extreme rear, directly
in front of the column.
The In-Rip Indicator
is on the right side of the arm.
The Out-Rip
indicator
is on the left side of the arm.

Remove the following from a small hardware
bag.
2 rip scale indicators
4 screws
2 speed nuts
[]
On the left of the radial arm saw, remove the
carriage lock knob and spring.
[]
Remove the two carriage cover screws and the
carriage cover.
[]
insert a speed nut inside the carriage cover with the
flat side up. Place the scale indicator on top of the
carriage cover and attach with two screws.
