Fence Adjustment
5. Place the fence assembly onto the guide
rail (D, Figure 11) and against the edge of the
miter slot (C, Figure 11). The hook at the rear
of the fence should fit under the rear rail (see
Figure 14).
The fence must align parallel to the miter slot along
the entire length of the fence.
If adjustment is necessary:
6. Lock the fence by pushing down the lock
handle (A, Figure 11). Because the screws are
only hand-tight, you can shift the fence slightly
as needed until the fence is parallel to the miter
slot.
7. When the fence has been properly aligned to
the miter slot, tighten the four socket head cap
screws (B, Figure 11) with a 6mm hex wrench.
Make sure the fence remains parallel to the
miter slot as you tighten the screws.
Note: This alignment will again be checked
once the guide rail has been tightened.
8. Move the fence assembly to the other side of
the blade as shown in Figure 12 so that the
pointer (B, Figure 12) on the fence body points
to zero on the scale. Lock the fence by pushing
down the handle (A, Figure 12).
9. Move the guide rail (D, Figure 12) with the
locked fence until the fence is flush against the
blade (C, Figure 12). Do not unlock the fence to
perform this. Move the fence and guide rail
together when establishing the zero point.
Important: Do not force the fence into the
blade so that the blade bends.
10. With a 10mm wrench, tighten the five hex cap
screws located on the bottom of the front rail
that hold the guide rail to the front rail.
Note: After tightening the guide rail, double
check that the fence is still parallel to the miter
slot. Make additional adjustments if needed.
