Step 1: Mount the Rails

To mount the rails, first locate the existing holes on the saw and insert the mounting brackets into them.

Clamp the mounting brackets into the groove on the bottom of the rails.

Step 2: Set up the Cursor and Bridge

Next, set up the cursor and bridge. When the cursor is set to zero, the fence should be right next to the saw blade. When the bridge is in the right place, lock it down.

Note: To maintain precision each time the blade widths are changed, reset the bridge in this manner.

Step 3: Find the Exact Measurements

Once the rip-fence system is in place, set the cursor to the measurement needed, but don't lock down the cursor just yet. Use the dial to achieve an exact measurement. As the dial is turned, adjust the measurement by .001 inch. Once the exact number is reached, lock down the cursor.

Step 4: Lock the Cursor

When locking down the cursor, teeth inside the lock interlace with teeth on the rail (Image 1) to hold the proper position.

There's one more lock to consider. The final lock stabilizes the positions of the rails against the fence (Image 2).
