location. Pushing down on the handle locks the
fence in position.

Position the fence on the table and along one edge
of the miter gauge grooves.

the groove, proceed with the following adjustments:
Loosen the two bolts (3) and lift up on the
handle (2).
Hold the fence bracket (4) firmly against the
front of the saw table. Move the far end of the
fence until it is parallel with the miter gauge
groove.
Push the handle to lock, then tighten both bolts.
5.
If fence is loose when the handle is in the locked
(downward) position, proceed with the following
adjustment:
Lift the handle (2) upward and turn the adjusting
screw (5) clockwise until the bottom of the rear
clamp is 1/16 in. away from the rear of the table.
NOTE: Over-tightening
the adjusting screw will cause
the fence to come out of alignment.
