ADJUSTING THE FENCE ON THE CARRIER

The fence can be changed from a vertical position to a 

horizontal position, or from its mounting on the left side 

of the blade to the right with simple adjustments of the 

carrier’s handles and hardware.

To change the fence from vertical to horizontal:

1.  Loosen the two side Knobs (#110, FIG. 31, A) which 

hold the Fence (#106) against the Fence Carrier (#107, B).

2.  Slide the fence forward to remove it from the carrier’s 

Locking Frame Bar (#105, FIG. 32, C).

3.  Rotate the fence 180°, turn it down to its horizontal 

position and slide it back onto the carrier. The short face of 

the fence is slotted to mount on the frame bar. FIG. 33.

4. Once in place, retighten the two side knobs to secure the 

fence in position on the carrier.

5. Confirm that the fence is parallel with the blade and miter 

gauge slot, and make corrections for ‘drift’ if needed per 

instructions on page 13. 

To change the fence from the left side of the 

carrier to the right side for using the rip fence to 

the right of the blade:

1.  Loosen the two side Knobs (#110, FIG. 31, A) which 

hold the Fence against the Fence Carrier (#107, B).

2.  Slide the fence forward to remove it from the carrier’s 

Locking Frame Bar (#105, FIG. 32, C). Move the carrier on 

the front rail to the right side of the table and blade.

3.  Fully unscrew the side knobs from the frame bar and 

reassemble the parts on the opposite, left side of the 

carrier. Then rotate the fence 180° end-to-end and slide it 

back onto the carrier. FIG. 34 & 35.
