Setting the Fence
Step 1 To make sure the guide fence is at 90˚, line up the guide
fence with the edge of the table's 'T' slot, see fig 49. If you find
that the fence is out of alignment follow the steps below:
1. Clamp down the fence by pushing the locking lever (5) down.
2. Loosen the 4 Hex bolts that secure the fence rail and adjust
until the fence is in alignment with the 'T' slot, then re-tighten
the bolts, see fig 50.
3. Replace the fence assembly to its original position.

Step 2 To make sure the fence is perfectly square to the blade
we recommend using our unique bandsaw blade aligning tool,
called the Bandsaw Buddy, see our website for details. The
Bandsaw Buddy allows you to check the alignment of the
bandsaw blade to the face of the fence. Most other checks only
require the use of a combination or engineer's square. Turning
the fence to the blade is tricky. The Bandsaw Buddy has two
rare earth magnets which hold it firmly on the blade, see fig 51.
Step 3 Place the Bandsaw Buddy on the blade as shown in fig
52. Move the fence up close to the alignment tool, lock in place
check the fence face is aligned with the alignment tool, see fig
53. If adjustment is required loosen the four M8 bolts beneath
the table and manoeuvre the table (1) until the blade is aligned.
Tighten the M8 bolts to secure the table place, see fig 54-55.
