Fence Assembly And Adjustment - Jet JWBS-20 Operating Instructions And Parts Manual

Fence Assembly and Adjustment

1. Attach the fence (A, Fig. 10) to the fence
body (B, Fig. 10) with four 5/16" x 3/4" hex
cap bolts, four 5/16" lock washers, and four
5/16" flat washers.
2. Thread a hex nut (D, Fig. 11) onto the pad's
threaded stud (E, Fig. 11) and insert through
the fence and rear hook (F, Fig. 11). Secure
in place using a hex nut, lock washer and
flat washer (G, Fig. 11).
Note: The hook should be adjusted so that it
overlaps the rear rail by approximately 1/8".
3. Place fence assembly onto the guide tube.
The rear hook should engage the rear rail.
4. Check the clearance between the table and
the fence. The gap should be the same at
the front of the table as it is at the rear. If the
gap width is different, adjust the foot at the
rear of the fence until the gap width is the
same, Figure 12.
Note: You can also adjust the front rail or
rear rail, up or down to achieve the proper
clearance.
5. With a square, verify the fence face is
perpendicular to the table top. If it is not
perpendicular, the front rail will need to be
adjusted parallel to the table top. This can
be accomplished by measuring from the top
of the table to the top of the front rail. The
measurement should be the same at both
ends of the table.
6. Move the fence assembly so that it aligns
parallel to the blade, and lock the fence by
pushing the lock handle down, Figure 10.
7. Loosen the four hex cap bolts that hold the
fence to the fence body, and align the fence
to the blade. Tighten the four hex cap bolts.
8. Check to see that the pointer (C, Fig. 10) is
aligned with the zero mark on the guide rail.
If adjustment is necessary loosen the screw
that holds the pointer in place and line up to
the zero mark. Tighten the screw.
Note: If you cannot get the pointer lined up with
the zero mark, you can slide the guide tube and
front rail left or right to achieve the proper
setting.
