ADJUSTING FENCE
PARALLEL TO MITER
GAGE SLOTS
NOTE: Delta table saws have been aligned at the factory
so that the miter gage slots in the table are parallel with
the saw blade. It is recommended, however, to check
and make certain this alignment is correct before adjust-
ing the fence parallel to the miter gage slot as follows:
The fence (A) Fig. 103, must be adjusted so it is parallel
to the miter gage slots (B). To check and adjust, move
fence (A) until the bottom edge of the fence is in line with
the edge of one of the miter gage slots as shown, and
push down on the fence clamping lever (C). Check to see
if the fence (A) is parallel to the miter gage slot, the entire
length of the table. If an adjustment must be made, lift up
fence locking lever (C) and raise fence up off the guide
tube, as shown in Fig. 104. Slightly tighten or loosen one
of the two adjusting screws (D) or (E) Fig. 104, using a
3/16" alIen wrench (F), not supplied. Replace the fence
on the guide tube and check again to see if the edge of
the fence is parallel with the miter gage slot the entire
length of the slot. Repeat this adjustment until you are
sure the fence is parallel with the miter gage slot.
IMPORTANT: VERY LITTLE MOVEMENT OF SCREWS
(D) AND (E) IS NECESSARY TO ADJUST THE FENCE
PARALLEL WITH THE MITER GAGE SLOT.
ADJUSTING CLAMPING
ACTION OF FENCE
LOCKING HANDLE
When the fence locking handle (A) is pushed to the down
position, as shown in Fig. 105, the fence assembly (B)
should be completely clamped to the guide tube (C). If
the fence assembly (B) is not completely clamped to the
guide tube (C) when the handle (A) is pushed down, as
shown in Fig. 105, lift up handle (A) and raise fence
assembly (B) up off the guide tube (C). Slightly tighten
the two adjusting screws (D) and (E) Fig. 104, using the
3/16" allen wrench (F) not supplied. Adjusting screws (D)
and (E) Fig. 104. should be tightened an equal amount.
Replace fence onto the guide tube and recheck to see if
the fence assembly (B) Fig. 105, is completely tightened
to the guide tube (C) with the locking handle (A) pushed
down. Adjust further if necessary.
IMPORTANT: AFTER ADJUSTING THE CLAMPING
ACTION OF THE FENCE LOCKING HANDLE, CHECK
TO SEE IF THE FENCE IS PARALLEL TO THE MITER
GAGE SLOT AND ADJUST IF NECESSARY.
