Clamping Pressure and Parallelism

Set screws on the rear side of the fence bracket adjust the clamping pressure to hold your fence securely, and position the fence parallel to the blade.

)% Remove the fence.

*% Equally adjust the set screws shown in =`^li\(', on the rear side of the front bracket as necessary until the clamping pressure is strong enough that the fence will not move as pressure is applied against it.

+% Place the fence approximately 4" away from the blade.

,% Measure the distance between the fence and the front of the blade at one end of the table insert, then mark the tooth that you measured from with a felt-tipped marker.

-%Rotate the blade to the other end of the table insert (see =`^li\('-), and recheck the distance between the fence and the blade to ensure they are parallel.

.% Use trial-and-error to adjust the set screws so the fence is parallel to the blade and the clamping pressure is sufficient.

The argument is that this offset adjustment reduces the chance of kickback by alleviating potential binding that may occur between the backside of the blade and fence. The trade-off is slightly less accurate cuts.
