Aligning Fence
To ensure cutting accuracy, the fence should be
aligned parallel with the blade. This is achieved by
aligning the fence with the miter slot.
Note:
Occasionally, even after aligning the fence,
a symptom known as "blade lead" will develop,
requiring the fence to be skewed slightly to
compensate for the blade lead problem. Refer
to
Blade Lead, beginning on Page 56 for more
information on blade lead and skewing the fence.
