can't lock your rip fence in place then
you might need a new rail lock lever the
rail lock lever engages the fence rail
lock on your table saw the handle is
made of plastic and attaches to the
locking shaft on your saw most issues
with the rail lock lever are the result
of breaking it off either by something
striking it or damaged during transport
replacing the rail lock lever is a
repair that you can do yourself and i'm
going to show you how to make this
repair we'll need to lay the sawn to its
top so the first thing i'll do is remove
everything from the table surface
starting with the upper guard
next the anti-kickback fingers
the fence
i'll need the riving knife in its lowest
position so i'll remove the throat plate
next
now release the riving knife tightening
screw
i'll push the screw in
and that'll allow me to lower the knife
i can tighten it back up
now i can lower the blade all the way
down into the table
with the table surface clean now i can
go ahead and turn the saw over onto its
top
now i need to remove this yellow side
panel this is the side panel that's on
the side of the saw with the rail log
lever
it's held in place with a series of
screws
do
there's two more screws on the exterior
side of the panel
now i need to remove the two brackets
that secure the locking shaft to the saw
table
the old rail lock lever is secured to
the locking shaft with a nut i'll go
ahead and remove it
now install the new rail lock lever and
secure it with the washer and nut
now re-secure the locking shaft with the
plates and screws
so
now reinstall the side plate
and i'll finish up by reinstalling the
throat plate the fence and the guard
