Adjusting Clearance between Fence and Table
Referring to Figures 11 and 12:
Check the clearance between the table and the
fence. The fence should not rub against the table
surface but be slightly above it. This gap should be
the same at the front of the table as it is at the rear.
If the gap between fence and table is not
consistent, loosen either of the hex nuts on the
hook (Figure 12) and rotate the sliding pad until the
fence/table gap is consistent across the full length
of the table. When this is achieved, tighten both
hex nuts.
Check the adjustment of the hook at the rear of the
fence. The hook should be positioned so that it
overlaps the rear rail by approximately 1/8"
(Fig. 12). To adjust the hook, loosen the upper hex
nut and slide the hook in or out as needed. Re-
tighten upper hex nut.

Resaw Guide

For resawing attach the post (A, Fig. 13) to the
fence with the lock knob (B, Fig. 13). There is a
slotted hole in the fence that will accommodate the
resaw kit. Position the post so that it is centered
with the front edge of the blade. The resaw guide
will give you a taller, single point contact surface
during resawing.

Miter Gauge

1. Place the miter gauge in the table slot.
2. With a square verify the miter gauge face is
square to the blade.
3. If the miter gauge is not square to the blade
loosen the lock knob (C, Fig. 13) and adjust to
the proper setting. Tighten the lock knob.
4. If the pointer is not at 90 degrees, loosen the
screw (D, Fig. 13) holding the pointer and move
the pointer to 90 degrees.
5. Re-tighten the screw.
