The fence should be parallel to the bandsaw’s table and sit approximately 2 mm above the table’s surface (so the
fence will not scratch the table and a thin work piece will not get stuck or jammed under the fence.)
LEVELING THE FENCE
1. To level and adjust the height of the fence, loosen the hex nuts that hold the mounting brackets to the table
(see image left), and raise
or lower
the front and rear rails along the elongated holes in the mounting
brackets. Level the fence, front and back as needed, and set the spacing between the bottom of the fence
and the table to 2mm (approx.) as shown in image right. Then, tighten the hex nuts to lock the rails in position.
Place a machinist square on the table against the fence (See Step 4 below) and, either by eye or with a feeler gauge,
look for a gap between the square and the fence (bottom and top) or the table. If needed, adjust as follows.
VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE FENCE 90° TO THE TABLE
1. Remove the fence from the rails and turn it up side
down.
2. With a 5 mm Allen key, loosen the set screw (without
removing it).
3. Put the fence back on the rails, but do not engage
the locking handle to lock the fence
.

5. With a flat head screwdriver, slowly turn the screw
(eccentric shaft) on the fence base. This will tilt the
fence slightly, allowing you to eliminate the gap
between the square and either the fence or the
table.
4. Reposition the square on the table against the
fence as a reference.
6. With the fence adjusted 90° to the table, remove it from the rails, turn it up side down and retighten the set screw
to lock the fence in place.
