6.5 Installing guide tube

6.
The guide tube mounts to front rail with scale
facing toward operator (Figure 6-12). Align
holes in bottom of guide tube with holes in
front rail. When properly positioned the guide
tube should extend about 6-inches beyond left
end of front rail.
Figure 6-12
7.
Fasten guide tube to rail from beneath, with
eight M6x20 hex cap screws and lock washers
(Figure 6-13). Finger-tighten only.
Figure 6-13
8.
The holes in front rail are over-sized to allow
slight adjustment of guide tube. Pull guide tube
away from rail as far as it will go.
9.
Measure distance from edge of guide tube to
front rail; do this at both ends of guide tube to
ensure guide tube is parallel to front rail. (The
distance itself is not important, but it should be
the same along the length of the guide tube.)
NOTE: Install table saw switch onto front rail at
the same time as the guide tube.
10. Tighten all screws with a 10mm wrench.

6.6 Mounting Accu-Fence

1.
Screw handle into fence head.
2.
Set fence on table and guide tube. Pull handle
up to slide fence; push down to lock fence to
guide tube.
3.
Check height of side plates from the table top.
The Accu-Fence has been pre-set by the
manufacturer for a side plate height of 1/32"
from table top. If any misalignment has
occurred during shipment, you can easily reset
side plates to correct height as described
below.

misalignment of side plates has occurred; the
side plates are in contact with front edge of
saw table.
Back Rail
Space should be 1/32"
along entire length of fence
2.
Turn Accu-Fence upside down and with a
rubber mallet (or hammer and block of wood),
gently tap the side plates to create a height
greater than 1/32" from table top.
Note: Do not use a steel faced hammer
directly on the side plates as this will damage
them.
3.
Reposition Accu-Fence on table and place the
plastic shims (included with shipping contents)
beneath side plates. Tap the sides down until
they contact the shims as shown in Figure 6-
15.
4.
Remove shims. The Accu-Fence should now
have correctly positioned side plates.
