Fence Adjustment; Aligning The Fences - Grizzly G5912Z Owner's Manual

Fence Adjustment

The fence is a two-piece adjusting system. Each
fence is independently adjustable to compensate
for different cutting thicknesses and special shap-
ing applications. Without any play, one turn of
the knob moves the split fence approximately
(.078").
More detailed information concerning fence
adjustments is covered in the "Straight Shaping"
instructions.
To adjust the fence:
1. Loosen the fence lock handle.
2. Turn the fence adjustment knob until the
fence is set to the desired position.
3. Tighten the fence lock handle.

To align the wood facing, adjust one or both
fence halves so they are in close alignment.
Micro-adjust and check the alignment with a
straightedge as shown in Figure 25.
3.
If the wood fences are not parallel with each
other, shim the incorrect side with shim
washers. Normal washers may work, but
shim washers allow for fine adjustments.
