Place fence on rails on right–hand side of blade.
Note:
Make sure cam foot contacts cam on fence
lock handle before you place fence on rail;

Adjust foot at rear of fence so that gap between
fence and table top is even from front to back.
21.
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.28
).
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 refer
