Aligning Fence

SETUP

To ensure cutting accuracy when the fence is first installed, the fence should be aligned with the miter slot.

To align the fence parallel with the miter slot, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.Make sure the miter slot is aligned with the bandsaw blade (see Page 27).

3.If the fence is mounted on the left-hand side of the blade, remove it and remount it next to the miter slot.

4.Loosen the three cap screws that secure the rail to the table (see Figure 38).

5.Adjust the fence face parallel with the edge of the miter slot, as shown in Figure 39.

6.Tighten the cap screws that secure the rail to the table, being careful not to move the fence.

NOTICE

Adjusting the fence parallel to the miter slot does not guarantee straight cuts. The miter slot may need to be adjusted parallel to the side of the blade. Refer to the "Aligning Table" instructions on Page 27.
