necessary. Steps 6–9 will guide you through the
alignment if required.
Verifying that fences are coplanar
1. Remove the guard and spindle attachment.
2. Unlock knobs D
1
, D
2
and adjust the fence
assembly (A) so it is positioned approximately
at midpoint; then secure lock knobs D
1
, D
2
.
3. Place a straightedge (H) on the table against
the infeed and outfeed fences (F
1
, F
2
).
4. Unlock the ram dial lock knob (B).
5. With the ram adjust dial (C) adjust the
position of the outfeed fence (G
2
) while at the
same time pressing against the straightedge
(H) and attempting to bring both fences (G
1
,
G
2
) in-line with the straightedge.
Note: The outfeed fence casting (F
2
) is
adjust-able while the infeed fence casting (F
1
)
is stationary and cannot be adjusted.
No adjustment is required if both fences (G

,
G

) are flush with the straightedge as shown in
Figure 6. Proceed to the Ram Dial Calibration
section on page 14.

) and place the
straightedge against the infeed and outfeed
fence castings (Figure 8).

Read step 7 completely before attempting.
7. Maintain steady pressure of the straightedge
against the fence castings (K, Fig. 8). At the
same time, attempt to bring both fences into
alignment as shown in Figure 9. This is
accomplished by alternately making
incremen-tal adjustments to two
setscrews
(M, Fig. 10) on the front face of the casting (L,
Fig. 10) with a 3mm hex wrench, followed by
repositioning the casting with the
ram adjust
dial (Q, Fig. 10) as required.
Important: It is recommended that the
adjustment setscrews (M, Fig. 10) be rotated
