ADJUSTING TENSION ON THE FENCE CLAMPING LEVER
To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before installing
and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can
cause injury.
When the fence is in place against the guide tube
and the fence clamping lever (A) (Figure 16) is in the
down position, the fence assembly (B) should not
move. If the fence does move or if the lever must be
forced down into the locked position, the tension on
the fence clamping lever must be adjusted. Do the
following:
1. Lift the fence clamping lever and remove the
fence.
2. Locate the two adjusting screws (D), shown in
Figure 13.
3. Use a 3mm hex wrench (not supplied to adjust
the screws.
a. If the fence clamping lever is too loose,
tighten the adjusting screws.
b. If the fence clamping lever is too tight,
loosen the adjusting screws.
NOTE: Both screws must be adjusted an equal
amount.
4. Place the fence on the guide tube and check
again to see if the fence assembly clamps easily
and holds securely.
5. Continue to make adjustments as needed.
IMPORTANT: After adjusting the fence clamping
lever, ensure the fence is parallel to the miter gauge
slot. Adjust if necessary.
ADJUSTING THE SCALE POINTER
The distance the fence is positioned away from the
blade is indicated by the pointer (A) (Figure 17). To
check the position of the pointer:
1. Place the fence on the guide tube and note the
position indicated on the pointer.
2. Lock the fence in place by pushing down on the
fence clamping lever.
3. Following the safety instructions in your table saw
manual, make a sample cut.
4. Measure the cut piece. It should be the same as
the distance indicated by the pointer. If not, the
pointer position must be adjusted. To do this:
NOTE: Do not unlock the fence clamping lever or
attempt to move the fence.
5. Loosen the two screws (B) and move the pointer so
that it indicates the same distance as the width of
your sample cut.
6. Tighten the two screws. Move the fence to the
opposite side of the blade and repeat above steps
with the second pointer.
