gear teeth are in full contact lengthwise and
meshed as far as possible, just short of binding.
This adjustment is made as follows: Push the
fence adjusting
knob all the way down, and
look underneath
the rock to determine
if the
pinion and rack teeth are aligned.
(See figure
21.) If the pinion extends too far (or not far
enough) loosen the set screw (1, figure 221 with
a 5/32-1rich
hex-L wrench and slide the knob
assembly on the pinion shaft (up or down) to
achieve proper alignment. Tighten the set screw
(1, figure 92).
(2) Adjust gear mesh (depth of tooth contact)
by
loosening
the set screw (3, figure
22) with a
5/32-inch
hex-L wrench and rotate the eccen-
tric (4, figure 22) untll proper mesh is obtained.
Tighten the set screw after adjusting. Check for
proper operation at various points along the rack.
c. Checking for Parallelism of Rip Fence with
Table Groove.
(1) With the lock handle released {not latched), slide
the fence on the saw table so the front end of
the channel is flush with the side of one of the
two miter grooves. (See figure 23.) This can be
checked by using your fingers as shown to "'feel"
for correct alignment. Shift the rear of the fence
to the right or left slightly, causing fence not to
be square with the front edge of the table, nor
parallel to the miter groove.
(2) Push down on the lock handle carefully
(do not
force) while watching the rear of the fence for
its
correcting
adion.

Do not force the handle, as it is not necessary
for the handle to be all the way down to lock
the fence. (See figure 24.) The rear of the fence
should move to correct itself, and do so parallel

out its full length. Alignment may be checked
with the forefingers to determine if the fence is
flush with the side of miter groove, as shown in
figures 23 and 24.
(4) tfthe lock handle responded as described above,
and the fence aligned itself with the table groove
at both enas, the fence is properly odiusted and
no further attention is necessary. If not, perform
the following
adjustment routine.
d. Adjusting the Rip Fence Parallel to Table Groove.
(1) Remove the fence and turn it over. Then, with a
1/8-inch hex-L wrench, loosen the pawl set screw,
located just behind the fence
pawl, approxi-
mately twotums.
(See figure 25.)
(2) Using a 5/32-inch
hex-L wrench, loosen the set
screw at the rear of the fence approximately
two turns. (See figure 26.) This screw is located
in thefence lock just inside the channel, as shown.
