The aluminum fence plate can be installed in one of
two positions; vertically (resaw position), as shown
in Figure 6; or horizontally as shown in Figure 7.
Horizontal position is useful for smaller workpieces.
(The zero setting of the cursor cannot be used with
horizontal fence position.)

8.3 Fence to Table Clearance
1. Check clearance between table and bottom of
fence (Figure 8). The fence plate should not rub
against table surface but be slightly above it.
This gap should be the same at both front and
back of table.
2. If clearance is not equal, use a 5mm hex key to
rotate the two nylon adjustment screws (C,
Figure 6) the same amount to raise or lower
fence body on guide tube. Clockwise raises
fence body, counterclockwise lowers.

8.4 Setting Table Parallel to Blade
Refer to Figures 9 and 10.
The table has been aligned by the manufacturer so
that the miter slot is parallel to the blade; it should
not require adjustment. However, in the future you
may wish to confirm the setting is still accurate. A
wide blade is recommended for the procedure.
1. Disconnect band saw from power source.
2. Blade should be fully tensioned (see section
8.11).
3. Place a long straightedge flush against blade,
making sure it contacts both front and back of
blade. (Do not deflect blade by pushing into it.)
See Figure 9.
4. Use a gauge to carefully measure distance from
miter slot to straight edge. Take measurements
at both front and back of table – these should
be identical.
5. If miter slot is not parallel to blade, loosen four
screws (E, Figure 10) that secure table to
trunnion, and shift table as needed until miter
slot is parallel to blade.
6. Tighten the four screws.
8.5 Setting Fence Parallel to Blade
Refer to Figures 11 through 13.
Fence must be parallel to flat of blade for accurate
cutting. Since miter slot has been set parallel to
blade from the manufacturer (and confirmed by
user, as described in section 8.4), the miter slot can
be used to set fence parallelism.
1. Slide fence to edge of miter slot, as shown in
Figure 11. The fence should align with miter slot
along its entire length.
2. If adjustment is needed, use one of the back
adjustment screws (F, Figure 12) to turn fence
in line with miter slot (5mm hex key).
