the miter slot, and clamping pressure. These
adjustments are interconnected and some repeti-

Height and Square
The fence should be adjusted high enough off the
table so that it does not drag across the surface or
allow wood chips to get caught between the fence
and table. Also, the fence face must be square to
the table in order to produce accurate cuts.
To check/adjust fence height and squareness
to table:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove fence from saw and place it on a flat
surface.
3. Unscrew front lock nuts and adjustment
screws shown in
Figure 118 until they are
barely threaded into fence flange.
4. Back out rear set screws until they are just
threaded into fence flange (see
Figure 118).
