Adjusting Fence Parallel to the Miter Slot

Referring to Figure 18:

1.Place the fence (A) on the table (B). Adjust it so the edge (C) lines up with the right miter slot (D) and lock it.

2.The locked fence must be even (parallel) with the miter slot from front to back.

3.If the fence is not even along the length of the miter slot, unlock and remove it from the guide rail (Figure 19).

4.Adjust one of the two setscrews (H, Figure 19) with a 5mm hex wrench until the fence is even with the miter slot edge along its entire length when locked.

Note: You may need to re-adjust the clamping pressure (described below) after aligning the fence.

Clamping Pressure Adjustment

The Accu-Fence has been adjusted at the factory to lock securely when the lock handle is pushed down. If adjustment is needed:

1.Unlock the fence.

2.Remove the fence from the guide rail (Figure 19).

3.Adjust each of the two setscrews (H, Figure

19)exactly the same number of rotations until the fence is held securely when the lock handle is pushed down.

A clockwise rotation of the setscrews will increase the cam pressure. Counterclockwise rotation will decrease cam pressure.

90° to the Table Adjustment

1.Place the fence on the saw table and lock it.

2.Place a square (E, Figure 18) on the table next to the fence. The fence should be 90° to the table.

3.If adjustment is necessary, unlock the fence, and turn one of the two nylon adjustment screws (F, Figure 18) until the fence is 90° to the table.

4.Lock the fence and check the adjustment again.

Cursor Adjustment

1.Disconnect the table saw from the power source.

2.Raise the saw blade above the tabletop.

3.Unlock the fence and slide it to approximately four inches from the saw blade.

4.Lock the fence.
