Fence Lock Tightness Adjustment
If the fence cam lock becomes loose:
1.
Remove the fence from the rail and rotate
both set screws clockwise by 1/6 turn to
increase the clamping pressure.
2. Reinstall the fence and recheck the cam lock
tightness. Repeat step 1 as needed.
3. Check the fence to miter slot alignment and
adjust as needed.
Fence to Miter Slot Alignment
To prevent kickback and to improve cut quality,
the fence must align with the saw blade. When
the miter slot aligns with the saw blade, it can be
used to align the fence.
1.
Disconnect the saw from the power source.
2. Mount the dial indicator on a base so it can
glide along the miter slot.
3. Position the dial indicator near the front
edge of the table.
4. Slide the fence towards the dial indicator so
it engages the contact point of the dial
indicator. Lock the fence and then set the
dial indicator to zero.
5. Slide the dial indicator to the rear and take
the measurement. If the reading of the dial
indicator stays the same, the fence is aligned
with the miter slot. Otherwise, proceed to
the next step for adjustments.
6. Remove the fence from the rail. Adjust the
two set screws indicated in the picture in
small increments to align the fence.
7. Mount the fence and repeat steps [3-5] to
check the alignment. Make further
adjustments until the fence is aligned with
the miter slot and the fence cam lock
pressure is set properly.
8. NOTE : Some woodworkers prefer to skew
the fence away from the blade to avoid
kickback and burning of the cut edge. This is
acceptable as long as the offset is less than
1/64”. Doing so may impact cut quality.
