8.3 Fence fine adjust
Refer to Figure 9.
1. Loosen handle (A, Figure 9).
2. Loosen knob (B).
3. Slide fence to approximate position, based on
the scale measurement aligning with the right
side of fence plate.
4. Tighten knob (B).
5. Rotate dial (C) to achieve fine adjustment.
Distance between incised lines on dial is
0.25mm (0.01 inch).
6. Tighten handle (A).

8.4 Setting table parallel to blade
Refer to Figures 10 and 11.
1. The table has been aligned by the
manufacturer so that the miter slot is parallel to
the blade; it should not require adjustment.
However, in the future you may wish to confirm
the setting is still accurate. A wide blade is
recommended for the procedure.
2. Disconnect band saw from power source.
3. Blade should be fully tensioned (see section
8.10).
4. Place a long straightedge flush against blade,
making sure it contacts both front and back of
blade. (Do not deflect blade by pushing into it.)
See Figure 10.

5. Use a gauge to carefully measure distance
from miter slot to straight edge. Take
measurements at both front and back of table
– these should be identical.
6. If miter slot is not parallel to blade, loosen four
screws (D, Figure 11) that secure table to
trunnion, and shift table as needed until miter
slot is parallel to blade.
7. Tighten the four screws.

8.5 Setting fence parallel to blade
Refer to Figures 12 through 14.
Fence must be parallel to flat of blade for accurate
cutting. Since miter slot has been set parallel to
blade from the manufacturer (and confirmed by
user, as described in
section 8.4 ), the miter slot
can be used to set fence parallelism.
1. Slide fence to edge of miter slot, as shown in
Figure 12. The fence should align with miter
slot along its entire length.
