Fence Adjustment

2.Place the fence assembly onto the guide rail (D, Fig. 9) and against the edge of the miter slot (C, Fig. 9). The hook at the rear of the fence should fit under the rear rail (see Figure 12).

The fence must align parallel to the miter slot along the entire length of the fence.

If adjustment is necessary:

3.Lock the fence by pushing down the lock handle (A, Fig. 9). Because the screws are only hand-tight, you can shift the fence slightly as needed until the fence is parallel the miter slot.

4.When the fence has been properly aligned to the miter slot, tighten the four socket head cap screws (B, Fig. 9) with a 6mm hex wrench. Make sure the fence remains parallel to the miter slot as you tighten the screws.

Note: This alignment will again be checked once the guide rail has been tightened.

5.Move the fence assembly to the other side of the blade as shown in Figure 10 so that the pointer (B, Fig. 10) on the fence body points to zero on the scale. Lock the fence by pushing the handle (A, Fig. 10) down.

6.Move the guide rail (D, Fig. 10) with the locked fence until the fence is flush against the blade (C, Fig. 10). Do not unlock the fence to perform this. Move the fence and guide rail together when establishing the zero point.

Important: Do not force the fence into the blade so that the blade bends.

7.With a 10mm wrench, tighten the five hex cap screws located on the bottom of the front rail that hold the guide rail to the front rail.

Note: After tightening the guide rail, double check that the fence is still parallel to the miter slot. Make additional adjustments if needed.
