ADJUSTING THE RIP FENCE FOR DRIFT
The 10-342 Bandsaw features an innovative fence
system that will easily adjust to eliminate ‘drift’, and
bring the fence back to being parallel to the blade.
Plus, it allows quick changing of the fence from a
vertical to horizontal position, or for use to the left or
right of the blade. To adjust the fence for drift:
1. Loosen the side Handle (#7E, Fig. 32, A) which
holds the rip fence again the Fence Carrier (#9E, B).
2. Loosen the Locking Knob (#2E, Fig. 32, C).
3. Turn the top Adjusting Handle (#1E, D) to position
the fence left or right as needed to align it parallel to
the blade and miter saw slots in the table. The handle
turns a Cam (#4E, E) that presses against the fence
and pivots it as needed.
4. Once the fence is set, tighten the Handle and Knob
that were loosened in steps 1 and 2.

guide post to be shifted/angled a bit left or right to
correct any positioning issues.
5. There are also four Set Screws (#5C) set in the
rear of the guide bracket near the corners. If the guard
post needs to be angled slightly towards the front or
back of the table, or even twisted on an angle, make
the adjustment with these screws. Fig. 31.
- Advancing the top two set screws will angle the
post towards the rear of the table.
- Advancing the bottom two set screws will angle
the post towards the front of the table.
- Setting the two left or right screws will angle the
post to the right or left.
6. When the post is adjusted vertical, tighten the four
hex bolts that were loosened in step 4.

ADJUSTING THE FENCE 90° TO THE TABLE
Check that the fence is 90 degrees to the table using
a suitable square. If adjustments are required, raise
or lower either side of the fence’s Guide Rail until the
fence body is 90 degree to the table. Once set at 90
degrees, fully tighten the fence bar nuts. FIG. 33.
See page 11 for the guide rail installation process.
