Fence Adjustment

The fence face needs to be parallel to the table miter slot.

To adjust the fence parallel to the miter slot:

1.Move the fence to the right side of the saw blade.

2.Loosen the 4 cap screws located on the top face of the fence.

3.Adjust the fence face parallel with the edge of the miter slot. Carefully tighten down the 4 cap screws.

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 "Table Alignment" instructions.

Table Alignment

Correct table alignment is needed to achieve accurate cuts.

To adjust the miter slot square to the blade:

1.Loosen the trunnion bolts underneath the table.

2.Place a straightedge along the side of the blade. The straightedge should touch the front and the back of the blade.

3.Use a fine ruler to gauge the distance between the blade and the miter slot as shown in Figure 23. The distance you mea- sure should be the same at both the front and the back of the table.

4.Adjust the table in the desired direction and secure it in position by retightening the trun- nion bolts.

The table should also be 90˚ to the back of the blade as shown in Figure 24. If the table is not perpendicular to the back of the blade, shim the table in the desired direction by placing washers between the table and the two trunnions.
