The adjustable 90° stop is factory adjusted for 90° and should not require additional adjustment. If “fine tuning” of the stop position is required: use a 5/64" hex wrench (not furnished), to rotate set-screw (F) Fig. 6, as required. Rotate the set-screw clockwise to reduce the angle of the fence, rotate the set-screw counterclockwise to increase the angle of the fence.
