Calibrating.Crosscut.
Fence.90°.Stops
Squaring the crosscut fence to the blade ensures that
cuts made with the crosscut fence will be square. This
procedure can be done by using a piece of scrap plywood
as a test piece and making five test cuts, then adjusting
the fence as necessary.
To square the crosscut fence with the blade, do these
steps:
1. Make sure the blade is parallel with the sliding table
and that the crosscut fence is resting against the 90°
stop bolt (see Figure.127 for locations).
2. Prepare the scrap test piece by cutting it to 32" x
32", then number all four sides of the test piece.
3. Use the crosscut fence to cut
the test piece, then cut side 1 again (make five cuts
total).
4. Measure the test piece diagonally from corner-to-
corner as shown in Figure.126.
— If both measurements are not within
the crosscut fence needs to be adjusted. Proceed
to Steps.5–8.
— If both measurements are within
adjustments need to be made. You are finished
with this procedure.
5. Loosen the knob on the crosscut fence to allow it to
pivot (make sure 90° stop bolt remains against the
fence during adjustments).
6. Loosen the hex nut on the 90° stop bolt shown in
Figure.127, and rotate the 90° stop bolt to square
the crosscut fence.
7. Tighten the hex nut on the 90° stop bolt, then tight-
en the crosscut fence knob, making sure the block is
touching the 90° stop bolt.
8. Repeat Steps.3-4.
