source.
2. Raise the saw blade above the tabletop.
3. Unlock the fence and slide it to approximately
four inches from the saw blade.
4. Lock the fence.
5. Measure the distance between the saw blade

Note
: If the cursor does not have enough travel to
give the correct measurement loosen the guide rail
and adjust as needed. If you still do not get the
correct measurement loosen the front rail and
adjust as needed. If you have to adjust the front rail
you will need to go through the front rail assembly
instructions again.
This adjustment must be checked whenever a
different blade is installed.
After installing the XACTA Fence II press the black
plastic end caps into the openings of the guide rail.
There is also an end cap for the fence, but this
should already be installed.
