OWNER’S MANUAL

1. You must install a rip fence before using your saw. Attempting to use the saw without a 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” of the blade. Attempting to use the rip

fence for narrow cuts without a push stick or push block could result in a serious 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.

Unpacking Your T-Glide Fence System

While unpacking your saw, verify that you have all the components shown below for your specic fence system.

The T-Glide Fence System – Industrial Series II is available in either a 52” system or a 36” system. Although the

components pictured below are from the 52” system, the components from the 36” system are similar.

page 1

Installation

To install the rails, extension table, and fence you will need the following tools:

5 mm hex driver and 6 mm hex key (included)

13 mm and 17 mm wrenches (or adjustable wrench)

Phillips head screwdriver

1. Installing the Front Rail: The rst step in installing the fence is to attach the long angle iron rails to the table.

Please see pages 14 and 16 for exploded views of the rails and extension tables. The rails are shipped in

the long cardboard box packaged with the main tube. The front rail is the larger of the two and includes 5

countersunk holes that are used to mount the rail to the front of the table. To mount the front rail, position the

rail along the front of the table with the cut-outs at the top of the rail centered on the miter gauge slots in the

table. Thread three M8 x 25 countersunk socket head bolts into the threaded holes in the front of the main

table, indicated by the arrows below. See Fig. 1. Tighten the bolts using the 5 mm hex driver.

Next, mount the front rail to the cast iron extension wings using two M8 x 35 countersunk socket head bolts

(the longer bolts), two M8 washers, two M8 lock washers and two M8 hex nuts. Position the bolts through the

front rail and the extension table, then install the washer, lock washer and nut (in that order) on the end of the

bolt, indicated by the circles shown above in Fig. 1. The holes in the extension wings are not threaded and

are slightly larger than the bolts they receive to allow you to use the rail to pull the wings up or down slightly,

if necessary, to get the wings parallel to the table. To do this you can push down or pull up on the wing slightly

and then tighten the nut to hold it in place.

page 2

Fig. 1

2. Installing the Rear Rail: You install the rear rail like you installed the front rail, except that you will probably

want to leave the rear rail a little loose until you get the extension table installed. The rear rail is attached to the

main table by two M8 x 25 countersunk socket head bolts, as shown by the arrows in Fig. 2. Position the rear

rail along the back of the table with the cut-outs at the top of the rail centered on the miter gauge slots in the

table. Thread the bolts into the threaded holes and tighten using the 5 mm hex driver. See Fig. 2.

Mount the rear rail to each extension wing using an M8 x 35 countersunk socket head bolt (the longer bolts),

an M8 washer, an M8 lock washer and an M8 hex nut for each of the holes shown by the circles in Fig. 2. If

necessary, push down or pull up on the wings before tightening the nuts to ensure the wings are parallel to the

table. As mentioned above, it is usually easier to leave the bolts in the rear rail slightly loose until the extension

table is installed as it may be dicult to position the extension table between the rails if both rails are tightened

down.

3. Installing the Extension Table: Once the rails are in place you can mount the extension table to the rails.

Begin by installing the adjustable foot in the bottom of each support leg. First, thread an M8 hex nut onto the

threaded shaft of the foot as close to the rubber base as possible. Next, thread the foot into the bottom of the

support leg as far as possible. See Fig. 3.

Locate the two leg support brackets. Remove the

two M8 x 20 countersunk socket head bolts from

the hardware bag along with two M8 washers,

two M8 lock washers and two M8 hex nuts. Mount

one leg support bracket to the underside of each

of the rails as shown in Fig. 4. Hand tighten the

nuts; do not fully tighten them.

Once mounted, the brackets should create a shelf

as shown in the close-up view of Fig.5 below.

Place the extension table between the rails and slide it towards the extension wing (see Fig. 6). Be careful when

positioning the extension table because it is not yet secured to the rails and could fall.

Fig. 6

page 4

The extension table mounts to the rails with bolts that pass through holes in the rails and extension table. If you

have an extension table for a 36” fence system, take two M8 x 35 countersunk socket head bolts and insert one

through the hole in the front rail closest to the saw and the other through the hole in the rear rail closest to the saw,

as shown in Fig. 7a. If you have an extension table for a 52” fence system, take four M8 x 35 countersunk socket

head bolts and insert one bolt into each of the two holes in the front rail, and one bolt into each of the two holes

in the rear rail, as shown in Fig. 7b.

The support legs attach to the outer ends of the rails and extension table with M8 x 65 countersunk socket head

bolts. Align the top hole in one support leg with the second-outermost hole in the front rail, and the top hole in the

second support leg with the outermost hole in the back rail. Make sure the legs are positioned against the inside of

the extension table. Insert M8 x 65 bolts through the holes in each of the rails, extension table and each of the legs.

Place an M8 washer and an M8 lock washer on the threaded end of each bolt and then thread an M8 hex nut onto

each bolt (see Fig. 8). Hand tighten the nuts; do not fully tighten them.

Fig. 8

Place an M8 lock washer and an M8 hex nut on the threaded end of each bolt, keeping them loose. Do not insert

bolts through the outermost holes in the front and rear rails at this time.

14. Install a M8 x 40 countersunk socket head bolt through the one remaining front rail hole and into the

corresponding hole in the front edge of the extension table for a 36” fence system, or install M8 x 40 countersunk

socket head bolts through the three remaining front rail holes and into the corresponding holes in the front edge

of the extension table for a 52” fence system (see the circles in Fig. 10). Install an M8 x 40 countersunk socket

head bolt through the rear rail and into the corresponding hole in the rear edge of the extension table for a 36”

fence system, or use three M8 x40 countersunk socket head bolts for a 52” fence system. Place an M8 washer

and an M8 lock nut on each bolt and hand tighten.

Use a straight-edge to level the front edge of the extension table to the saw table (see Fig. 10). You may have

to pull up or push down on 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 along the front rail. Repeat the

process to level the rear edge of the extension table. Also fully tighten the bolts that attach the leg support

brackets to the front and rear rails (bolts ).

Attach each support leg to the corresponding leg support bracket with an M10 x 40 hex head bolt, two M10 washers,

and an M10 lock nut, as shown in Fig. 9, and fully tighten the bolts using two 17 mm wrenches. Note that the leg

support brackets align with dierent holes in the front and rear legs because the brackets are at dierent elevations.

Next, install the M8 x 45 socket head bolt and D-washer through the hole in the center of the left side of the

extension table. The bolt should also extend through the center hole in the right extension wing. Make sure the

at edge of the D-washer is facing upward. See Fig. 11. Install an M8 x 23 x 2 washer, an M8 lock washer, and

an M8 x 1.25 hex nut on the end of the bolt and hand tighten.

If you left the rear rail slightly loose, tighten it now. If necessary, pull up or push down on the extension wings

before tightening as described above.

Once both rails are installed securely, adjust the position of the extension table so that its top surface is level

and ush with the top surface of the cast iron extension wing. Fully tighten the nuts to lock the extension table

in place. If necessary, put upward or downward pressure on the left edge of the extension table to make it ush

with the extension wing, and then tighten the M8 x 45 socket head bolt that passes through the D-washer.

Finally, adjust the position of the foot on the bottom of the support leg to ensure the leg is in solid contact with

the ground.

Fig. 11

The holes in the bottom of the front rail are oversized to allow the position of the tube on the rail to be adjusted. To

set the tube in the correct position, rst pull the tube away from the cast-iron table as far as possible. Next, place

your fence down on the tube with the fence glide bracket resting on the upper rear edge of the tube. Position the

fence so that it is near the left end of the tube and the front glide pads are in contact with the rear surface of the

main tube. See Figs. 13a and 13b.

Installing the Main Tube: The main tube is installed on the front rail using the M8 x 16 hex head bolts with

attached washers. Position the tube on the horizontal portion of the front rail with the rulers facing up and the 12”

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 o the rail. Align the holes in the rail with the holes in the bottom of the tube. Thread the M8 x 16 hex head

bolts through the rail and into the threaded holes in the bottom of the tube. See Fig. 12. Leave the bolts nger tight.

Next, move the fence to the right end of the tube and repeat the above process. Tighten the right-most M8 bolt

that mounts the tube to the front rail. Conrm that the left end of the tube is still correctly positioned by sliding

the fence to the left end of the tube. If the gap between the tube and rail on the left end has changed, loosen the

left-most bolt and readjust the position of the tube. Once both ends of the tube are adjusted correctly, tighten

the remaining M8 x 16 hex head bolts to lock the tube to the front rail. The fence should now slide smoothly

along the tube without binding and without excessive play when changing directions.

Next, attach the fence handle to the fence by threading the handle into the cam lock. Press down on the

fence handle to clamp the fence to the main tube. If the fence does not clamp tightly enough to the main tube

to hold its position against a moderate amount of force, you can increase the clamping force by turning both

parallelism adjustment screws clockwise. See Fig. 14. Alternatively, if too much pressure on the handle is

needed to clamp the fence to the main tube, you can reduce the clamping force by adjusting both parallelism

adjustment screws counter-clockwise.

Once the fence is correctly clamped to the main tube, adjust the position of the left end of the tube so that there

is only a small gap (approximately 1/16”) between the front rail and the rear glide pads on the fence. See Fig.

15. Tighten the left-most M8 x 16 hex head bolt that mounts the tube to the front rail using a 13 mm wrench.

gap

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 glide bracket. See Fig. 14.

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 glide bracket. See Fig. 17.

5. Fence Adjustments: 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

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. 16. You can check this either

visually or by running your nger along the face plate and miter slot edge.

page 10

Fig. 16

Fig. 17

Place a combination square on the table top and against the left face plate. See Fig. 18. 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.

If necessary, you can adjust both of the plastic set screws to ensure the position indicator lenses are close to,

but not touching, the main 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. 19.

page 11

Fig. 19

Fig.18

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 5 mm ball end hex driver or hex key through

the slot at the end of the fence and into the screw

head. See Fig. 20. 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 downward to align the screw heads with the

large portion of the key-hole slots, and then pull the

face plate o the fence.

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. 16. Loosen each screw in the right face plate just enough to allow

the face plate to slide against the fence. Install the fence on the main 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, lift the fence o the 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 main tube. Adjust the position of

the left face plate as desired. Lift the fence o 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. Your fence is now fully

adjusted and ready to use.
