20. Slide fence up against right hand edge of miter slot,
and lock it in place. Examine how fence lines up
with miter slot (see
Figure.30)
.
Note: It is permissible for back of fence to pivot
outward not more than
1
⁄
64
" from being parallel with
miter slot. This creates a slightly larger opening
between fence and blade, at rear of blade, to
reduce risk of workpiece binding or burning as it is
fed through cut. Many woodworkers intentionally
set up their fence in this manner. Keep this in mind
before adjusting your fence. For more details, see
Figure 121
on
Page 76
.
— If fence is still parallel with miter slot, proceed to
Step
21
.
— If fence is not parallel with miter slot, then
you MUST adjust fence, as described in
Fence
Adjustments on Page 74, so that it is parallel.
— If miter slot is not parallel with blade, you must
follow procedures described in
Miter Slot to Blade
Parallelism on Page 70.
21. Carefully slide fence so it barely touches saw blade
and lock it in place.
22. Lightly mark "0" location on fence tube (under
indicator line on pointer window) with a pencil, as
shown in
Figure.31
, then remove fence.
