Fence
The fence must engage and square up on the front rail before the rear clamp engages the back rail. In essence, the rear clamp should act as a secondary mechanism for maintaining fence position. When adjusted correctly, the lever lock should only begin to apply pressure on the back rail over the last one third of its stroke. To adjust the fence:
1.First, make sure the front clamp is engaging the front tube with the lock handle at one half its throw. If the front clamp requires adjust- ment, loosen the check nut. Figure 26. Turn the adjusting bolt in if the front clamp is too far from the tube, out if it is too close.

2.Now slide the fence along the rail until it is aligned with the edge of the miter slot. Lock the fence down.
3.With the fence in the locked position, loosen the rear lock adjustment (the slotted screw on the front of the fence) until the rear lock- ing lever ceases to engage the rear rail.

4.Loosen the adjustment bolts at the top of the fence. Figure 28. move the straight portion of the fence until it is parallel with the miter slot from front to back. Tighten the bolts.
