Fence Adjustment (Fig. 8)
The fence is pre-set at the factory, but it may need
adjustment over time.
To increase the holding force of the fence to the table,
turn the nut (1) on the back of the fence clockwise.
To reduce the holding force of the fence, turn the nut
counterclockwise.
When properly adjusted, the fence should hold firmly
to the table and the fence lever should pivot down
(lock) with reasonable force. Be sure not to over
tighten nut, as that may damage the fence lever and
reduce the holding force.
Squaring the Sawtable to the Blade
1. Raise and lock the blade guide assembly (1) to its
highest position.
2. Place a small combination square (2) on the saw
table beside the blade and check squareness of
the saw table to the blade.
If an adjustment is needed:
3. Loosen table tilt adjustment lock knob (5).
4. Using a 3 mm hex key (3), adjust zero stop set
screw (4) until table is square to blade when set
screw makes contact with housing.
5. Tighten table tilt adjustment lock knob (5).
6. Adjust scale indicator (6) by loosening screw with
a phillips screwdriver, align scale indicator to zero,
then retighten screw.
