Parallelism

Align the fence alongside the miter slot as shown in Figure 86, and lock it down.

If the fence is not parallel to the miter slot:

1.Loosen the fence lock handle.

2.Remove the fence from the saw and adjust the set screws on the rear side of the front bracket shown in Figure 85.

3.Make very minor adjustments and recheck by reclamping the fence along the miter slot after each adjustment. Keep in mind that a small turn of the set screw can make a large difference over the length of the fence. Be sure clamping pressure is still adequate.

5.Loosen the jam nut and adjust the stop screw until it is seated against the shaft (see Figure 87 for part locations), then tighten the jam nut.

6Loosen the screw on the front of the miter bar, adjust the pointer to 0°, then tighten the screw.

7.To adjust to 45°, follow Steps 1-5using an adjustable square set to 45°.

8.Double-check your adjustments at 45° and 90° to assure that you have accurately set your miter gauge.

9.To fit the miter bar tighter in the miter slot, turn the adjustment set screws shown in Figure 87 clockwise in small increments, and test fit between adjustments until the miter gauge fits your expectations.
