ADJUSTMENTS  Turn the blade so the marked tooth is at the back.  Move the ruler to the rear and again measure the distance from the inside face of the blade tooth to the inside face of the rip fence. If the distances are the same, the blade and the rip fence are parallel. If the distances are different:  Unlock the rip fence.  Loosen the two screws located on top of the rip fence.  Adjust the rip fence.  Alternately retighten the screws. Recheck alignment.  Repeat steps as needed until rip fence is correctly aligned.  Replace blade guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback pawls. TO CHECK THE TIGHTNESS OF THE RIP FENCE LOCKING LEVER See Figure 52. The locking lever on the rip fence should hold the rip fence securely against the front and back rails. The lever should not be difficult to push down and lock. To assure proper fence lock adjustment:  Lock the rip fence in place.  Try moving the fence from side-to-side. If the fence moves, tighten the lock nut 1/4 turn.  With the rip fence in the locked position, recheck rip fence parallelism with the blade and adjust if necessary. LOCK NUT Fig. 52 MAINTENANCE WARNING: When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage. WARNING: Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 during product operation. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask. WARNING: Before performing any maintenance, make sure the tool is unplugged from the power supply and the switch is in the OFF ( O ) position. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury. GENERAL MAINTENANCE Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc. WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.  Periodically check all clamps, nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness and condition. Make sure the throat plate is in good condition and in position.  Check the blade guard assembly.  To maintain the table surfaces, fence, and rails, periodi- cally apply paste wax to them and buff to provide smooth functioning.  Protect the blade by cleaning out sawdust from underneath the table and in the blade teeth. Use a resin solvent on the blade teeth.  Clean plastic parts only with a soft damp cloth. DO NOT use any aerosol or petroleum solvents. LUBRICATION All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required. 41 - English
