8.Raise the blade all the way up and adjust it to 90°.
9.Remove the stop screw on the left hand side of the rail, and slide the fence over until it just touches the blade.
10.Adjust the round rail mounting position on the table by rotating the adjusting nut on the far right stud (of the round rail) until the rip fence is parallel with the blade as shown in Figure 30. (See Figure 26 for a better view of all the round rail studs and adjusting nuts.)

11.Tighten the hex nuts on that stud to secure the rail to the table on that end (one of the nuts acts as a jam nut and tightens against the other one to keep the setting).
Note: Leave the center studs loose until the adjustments are complete.
12.Slide the fence to the middle of the round rail, and replace the stop screw.
13.Slide the fence back-and-forth across the round rail. Make sure the gap between the rip fence body and the table is equal along the entire distance—and that the micro adjust- ment knob engages at both ends of the rail when it is pushed down and rotated.
—If the gap between the fence and table is even—and the micro-adjustment knob engages—continue to the next step.
—If the gap between the fence and the table is NOT even—or the micro-adjustment knob DOES NOT engage—then loosen the nuts on both ends of the rail and repeat Steps 9–13.
14.Tighten all of the nuts securing the rail against the table (see Figure 31) and tighten the outside nuts against the adjusting nuts.
