Aligning.Fence
To ensure cutting accuracy, the fence should be aligned
parallel with the blade. This is achieved by aligning the
fence to the miter slot after miter slot parallelism is
properly adjusted, as instructed on Page 39.
Note: Occasionally, even after aligning the fence, a
symptom known as "blade lead" will develop, requiring
the fence to be skewed slightly to compensate for the
blade lead problem. Refer to Blade Lead, beginning on
Page 65 for more information on blade lead and skewing
the fence.
