FENCE ADJUSTMENT
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE!
In order that the saw can bevel to a full 47 degrees left, the left side of the fence can be adjusted to the left to provide clearance. To adjust the fence, loosen the plastic knob shown in Figure 22 and slide the fence to the left. Make a dry run with the saw turned off and check for clearance. Adjust the fence to be as close to the blade as practical to provide maximum workpiece support, without interfering with arm up & down movement. Tighten knob securely. When the bevel operations are complete, don’t forget to relocate the fence to the right. NOTE: The guide groove in the left side fence can become clogged with sawdust. If you notice that it is becoming clogged, use a stick or some low pressure air to clear the guide groove.
