Fence Scale Calibration

You may need to recalibrate the fence scale after chang- ing or adjusting the blade, or if the scale is not producing accurate cuts. Recalibrate the fence scale by adjusting the hairline indicator on the fence and testing your adjust- ment by cutting a piece of scrap wood.

To calibrate the scale, do these steps:

1.Set the fence anywhere along the scale and locate a piece of scrap wood with at least one straight edge.

Note: Joint the edge with a jointer (if needed) to make the edge straight.

2.Hold the straight edge of the workpiece firmly against the fence, and feed the workpiece through the saw blade with a push stick.

3.Measure the width of the cut workpiece. The width of the workpiece should match the reading on the fence scale.

4.If the reading on the scale is not the same as the width of the cut workpiece, loosen the screw on the magnifying window (Figure 48), and adjust it to match the width of the cut workpiece.

5.Tighten the screw; the scale is now correctly cali- brated.
