Attaching The Measuring Tape; Adjusting Parallelism - Kreg KMS7200 Instruction Manual

Attaching the Tape
The Measuring Tape on the Kreg Precision Band Saw Fence will
transform your band saw into a woodworking machine capable of
exact cuts and repeatable accuracy.
1. Position the fence against the blade making sure the fence is
touching but not defl ecting the blade.
2. Use a pencil to scribe a line on the Mounting Rail above and below
the red line on the Lens Cursor. Remove the Fence and Clamp Block
assembly from the Mounting Rail by loosening the Lock Down Knob
and pushing forward on the Clamp Block until the double-dovetail
surfaces disengage lifting the assembly off the Mounting Rail.
3. Peel the backing away from the Self-Adhesive Measuring Tape
exposing about an inch of the "sticky" side of the tape. Place the
Measuring Tape in the shallow groove provided on the Mounting Rail
aligning the "Zero" mark on the Measuring Tape with the pencil lines
you scribed on the Mounting Rail. Once the fi rst inch of the
Measuring Tape is in place pull the remaining backing from under
the Measuring Tape pressing fi rmly along the length of the tape till
it covers the entire length of the Mounting Rail. Trim the Measuring
Tape to fi t the Mounting Rail. Reinstall the Fence and Clamp Block
assembly on the Mounting Rail and check the red line of the Lens
Cursor against the "Zero" mark on the Measuring Tape. You can "re-
zero" the red line by loosening the screw that holds the Lens Cursor
in place and readjust the Lens Cursor if necessary.
Tip
If you fold the backing under the measuring tape toward the
bottom of the markings at a 90° angle it will be easier to peel
the remaining backing from under the Measuring Tape after it is
placed in position.
1. Position fence
against the blade
2. Use a pencil to scribe
a line on the Mounting
Rail above and below
the red line on the
Lens Cursor
3. Align mark on tape to
your pencil scribe.
Peel away backing to
apply adhesive tape
Assembly Instructions
The Kreg Precision Band Saw Fence is equipped with set
screws to make minor adjustments to the fence so that the
vertical surface of the HD Trak is exactly parallel with the blade.

Adjusting Parallelism

The Kreg Precision Band Saw Fence is equipped with set screws
to make minor adjustments to the fence so that the vertical sur-
face of the HD Trak is exactly parallel with the blade. Be certain
that the unparallel surfaces between the blade and fence are not
the result of a table that is not square to the blade. Refer to the
instructions provided by the band saw manufacturer for informa-
tion on how to align the table square to the blade. If you still feel it
is necessary to make this adjustment begin by threading the rear
set screws in the Clamp Block down till they contact the surface of
the Mounting Rail. Once these set screws touch the Mounting Rail
surface either the left screw or the right screw may be adjusted to
align the "face" of the fence parallel with the blade.
Either the left screw or the right screw may be adjusted to
align the "face" of the fence parallel with the blade.
Tip
Reserve the parallel adjustment for thin cuts where even the smallest
difference between the top and bottom of the cut are noticeable.
These cuts may include material removal from tenons and dovetailing
operations. This adjustment is also very benefi cial for adjusting the
fence to eliminate tapered pieces when cutting veneers.
