Fence Adjustments

There are four main adjustments for the fence: 1) Height off the table, 2) squareness, 3) parallelism with the miter slot, and 4) clamping pressure. These adjustments are interconnected and some repetition may be needed when adjusting.

Height and Squareness

The fence should be adjusted high enough off the table so that it does not drag across the surface or allow wood chips to get caught between the fence and table. Also, the fence face must be square to the table in order to produce accurate cuts.

To check/adjust the fence height and squareness to the table, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!

	Rear Set
Fence	Screws
Flange
	Front Thumb Knobs
	and Set Screws

Figure 103. Locations of front thumb knobs and front and rear set screws.

2.Remove the fence from the saw and place it on a flat surface.

3.Unscrew the front thumb knobs and set screws shown in Figure 103 until they are barely threaded into the fence flange.

4.Back out the rear set screws until they are just barely threaded into the fence flange (see Figure 103).

5.Install the fence onto the table.

6.Loosen the top lock nuts on the fence flange and the lock nut on the rear rail foot (see Figure 104).

7.Adjust the top set screws and rear foot set screw so there is approximately 1⁄16" clearance between the bottom of the fence and the table, front-to-back and side-to-side, then re-tighten the lock nuts.
