Slide fence up against right hand edge of
miter slot, lock it in place, then raise blade
to its maximum height. Examine how fence
lines up with miter slot and blade, as shown
in Figure 122.

Figure 122. Checking fence parallelism with
blade.
Note: It is permissible for the back of the
fence to pivot outward
lel with the blade (see Figure 125 on Page
74 ). 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 fence/miter slot are parallel with blade,
as shown in Figure 122, no further adjust-
ments need to be made.
— If fence is not parallel with blade/miter slot,
then you must adjust fence parallel with
blade.
— If miter slot is not parallel with blade, you
must follow procedures described in Miter
Slot to Blade Parallelism on Page 67.

To adjust fence clamping pressure and paral-
lelism to blade:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Remove fence and equally adjust set screws
shown in Figure 123 as necessary, then
re-install fence, lock it in place, and check
clamping pressure. Re-adjust as necessary
until fence will not move as pressure is
applied against it.

Rotate blade 180° (Figure 124), and recheck
distance between fence and blade tooth you
marked in Step 4 to ensure they are parallel.
