Check the fence support pads. Over time
the pads illustrated in Figure 115 will wear.
Replace them if they appear worn.

4.
Loosen the rail mounting bolts and adjust the
rails as needed until the fence rides smooth-
ly, the gap is approximately
from front to back (see FIgure 114).
Clamping Pressure and Parallelism
The fence clamping mechanism adjusts the
clamping pressure to hold your fence securely
and to position the fence parallel with the blade.
To verify fence parallelism:
1. Slide the fence along the rail.
—If the fence drags across the table, then
loosen the rail mounting bolts and adjust
the rails just enough so the gap between
the fence and the table is even from front
to back (see Figure 114 on Page 66).
Tighten the rail mounting bolts.

2.
Slide the fence up against the right hand edge
of the miter slot, lock it in place, then raise the
blade to its maximum height. Examine how
the fence lines up with the miter slot and the
blade, as shown in Figure 116.

Figure 116. Checking fence parallelism with
blade.
Note: It is permissible for the back of the
fence to pivot outward
lel with the blade (see Figure 119 on Page
68). Many woodworkers intentionally set up
their fence in this manner. This creates a
slightly larger opening between the fence
and the rear of the blade to reduce the risk
of workpiece binding or burning as it is fed
through the cut. Keep this in mind before
adjusting your fence.
— If the fence/miter slot are parallel with the
blade, as shown in Figure 116, no futher
adjustments need to be made.
— If the fence is not parallel with the blade/
miter slot, then you must adjust the fence
parallel with the blade.
—If the miter slot is not parallel with the blade,
you must follow the procedures described
in Miter Slot to Blade Parallelism on
Page 61.
