adjusting the Fence

1. The Fence holds the work piece in a
fixed position while the Table and or
the blade assembly are adjusted in a
miter or bevel angle.
2. To make accurate cuts, the Fence
must be perpendicular (at a 90º
angle) to the Saw Blade.

3. Before beginning work, make a test
cut on scrap material with the Table
set at 90º.
4. Check the cut with an accurate
square. You can also reverse the two
pieces, hold the cut ends together,
and hold a good straight edge along
the side of the pieces.
5. If either test reveals that the cut is not
a true 90º angle, you must adjust the
Fence before beginning work.
6. To adjust the Fence, first unplug the
tool.
7. Lower the blade assembly and lock it
in place using the Locking Pin.
8. Lay a reliable carpenter's square on
the table with one edge along the
blade and the other along the Fence.
Any inaccuracy should be visible.
NOTE: The square must contact the
surface of the blade, not the teeth, for
an accurate reading.
9. The Fence is held in place with
bolts at each end. Loosen the bolts
slightly, and gently tap the Fence into
position using a soft mallet. Retighten
the bolts and make another test cut.
Repeat the process until the Fence is
adjusted accurately.
10. Once the Fence is accurately
adjusted, tighten the bolts firmly in
place. Recheck one last time, then
proceed to work.

Blade, you must check the accuracy
