FENCE ALIGNMENT:
In aligning the fence, the first step is to adjust the clamps. Using the lower clamp handle, check whether
it locks the fence solidly in front. If it does not, adjust the locking action with the adjusting screw as
shown in Fig. 10. With the front lock clamped, clamp the rear of the fence with the upper locking han-
dle. Adjust as required by using the adjusting screw shown in Fig. 10 to obtain a good clamping action.
Move the fence so that it is in line at the front with the right-hand edge of the right-hand miter gauge
slot and lock the front clamp. The position at the rear of the table should be 1/64" to 1/32" to the
right of the edge of the miter slot. Readjust if necessary by loosening top screw and adjusting the right
and left jackscrews with a 3/8" allen wrench as shown in Fig. 11. To move the rear of the fence to the
right, tum the right-hand setscrew counter-clockwise and the left-hand screw clockwise. After adjustment
lock the fence mounting screw securely and wedge the setscrews tightly against the fence.
