FENCE ASSEMBLY
ALIGN THE FENCE PARALLEL TO THE BLADE
1. Slide the fence over to the right T-slot on your
saw table top lock down the fence handle
and make a visual check that the fence is
parallel with the T-slot all along its length.
Also, you can place a small 3/4” thick block of
wood, upright into the T-slot and slide it from
the front to the back checking its distance
from the left edge of the fence Fig. 11.
2. If the fence is not parallel, it can be adjusted
by using an Allen key to turn one or both of
the screws C or D Fig. 12. Do this slowly, just
an eighth to a quarter turn at a time, or you
will quickly overshoot the desired adjustment.
Note: It is always good practice to periodically
recheck the alignment of your fence to the
blade.
ALIGN THE RIP FENCE PERPENDICULAR
(90°) TO THE TABLE
Place a machinist square on the table against
the fence and look for a gap between the square
and the fence (bottom and top) or the table. If
needed, adjust either of the two plastic set
screws to tilt the fence slightly and square it to
the table Fig. 13.
