ALIGNING FENCE TO SAW BLADE
AND SETTING ZERO MARK
1. Move fence (YY) Fig. 26 to the right side of the saw
blade so that when you rotate the blade by hand, it
just clears the fence when fence is locked, as shown
in Fig. 26.
2. Set the right pointer (UU) Fig. 27 to zero and tighten
pointer hardware.
NOTE: If the pointer can’t be set to zero, loosen serrated
nuts (JJ) Fig. 15 under the guide tube and adjust guide
tube as needed. Re-tighten the nuts (JJ).
3. Make a test cut at 1" (25 mm) and verify that the saw
is cutting a one-inch piece.
4. If workpiece is not the right length, move pointer as
needed and re-check.
5. move fence body to left side of blade and set the left
pointer in the same manner.
ADJUSTING THE FENCE TIGHTNESS
To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off
and disconnect it from power source before installing
and removing accessories, before adjusting or when
making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
When the fence locking handle (RR) Fig. 24, is pushed
to the down position, the fence crossarm (VV) should be
completely clamped to the guide tube (C1).
If the fence crossarm (VV) Fig. 24 is not completely
clamped to the guide tube (C1) when the handle is
pushed down, as shown, lift up handle (RR), raise fence
off the guide tube and turn fence around as shown in
Fig. 25.
If fence is too loose - slightly tighten the two adjusting
screws (A1) Fig. 25 and (B1).
If fence is too tight - loosen the two screws (A1) and
(B1) in Fig. 25.
NOTE: Screws (A1) and (B1) should be tightened or
loosened an equal amount.
Replace the fence back on the guide tube (C1) Fig. 24
and recheck to see if the fence crossarm is completely
tightened to the guide tube with the locking handle (RR)
pushed down. Adjust further if necessary.
NOTE: Proper tightening allows about 1/8" (3.2 mm)
deflection when the far end of the fence is pushed to
one side or the other.
NOTE: Re-check the fence (YY) Fig. 24 and make sure it
is still parallel with the miter gauge slot.
