ADJUSTING FENCE PARALLEL TO MITER GAGE SLOTS

The fence (A) Fig. 50, should be adjusted so it is parallel to miter gage slots (B). To check and adjust, move the fence (A) until the bottom front edge of the fence is in line with the edge of the miter gage slot as shown, and push down on fence clamping lever (C). Check to see if the fence is parallel to the miter gage slot the entire length of the table. If the rear of the fence must be moved, slightly tighten or loosen one of the adjustment plugs (D) or (E) Fig. 50, using the arbor wrench or a 7/8" wrench, until the fence is parallel with the miter gage slot. IMPORTANT:

DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN PLUGS (D) AND (E) FIG. 50.

VERY LITTLE MOVEMENT OF THESE PLUGS IS NECESSARY WHEN ADJUSTING THE FENCE PARALLEL WITH THE MITER GAGE SLOT.

ADJUSTING FENCE 90 DEGREES TO TABLE

The fence must be adjusted so that the face of fence (A) Fig. 51, is 90 degrees to the table. To check if the fence is 90 degrees to the table, place a square (B) on the table with one end of the square against the fence, as shown. If an adjustment is necessary, tighten or loosen one of two screws (C) or (D) until the fence is 90 degrees to the table.

IMPORTANT: VERY LITTLE MOVEMENT OF THESE SCREWS (C) AND (D) IS NECESSARY TO MAKE THIS ADJUSTMENT.

ADJUSTING CLAMPING ACTION OF FENCE LOCKING HANDLE

When the fence locking handle (A) is pushed to the down position, as shown in Fig. 52, the fence body (B) should be completely clamped to the guide rail. If the fence body

(B)is not completely clamped to the guide rail when the handle (A) is in the position shown in Fig. 52, lift up on locking handle (A) Fig. 53, and slightly tighten two adjustment plugs (C) using the arbor wrench or 7/8" wrench. Adjustment plugs (C) should be tightened an equal amount. Check to see if the fence body (B) is completely fastened to the rail by pushing down on locking lever (A). Adjust further if necessary.

IMPORTANT: AFTER ADJUSTING THE CLAMPING ACTION OF THE FENCE LOCKING HANDLE, CHECK TO SEE IF THE FENCE IS PARALLEL TO THE MITER GAGE SLOT AND ADJUST IF NECESSARY.
