Checking Fence Parallelism

1. Slide the fence along the rail. If it drags

across the table, then adjust the foot at the

rear of the fence with a 6mm hex wrench to

raise the fence off of the table, just enough so

that the gap between the fence and the table

is even from front to back.

2. Slide the fence up against the right hand edge

of the miter slot, and lock it in place. Examine

how the fence lines up with the miter slot.

Note: It's permissible for the back of the

—If the fence/miter slot are still parallel with the blade, proceed to Fence Scale.

—If the fence is not parallel to the blade/miter slot, then you MUST adjust the fence, as described in Fence Adjustments on Page 69, so that it is parallel to the blade.

—If the miter slot is not parallel with the blade, you must follow the procedures described in Miter Slot to Blade Parallelism on Page 67.

Fence Scale

Since the adhesive fence scale will be difficult to remove once it installed, determine whether you will use the pointer window on the right or the left side of the fence before installing the scale.

The pointer window may come pre-installed on the left side of the fence. However, we recommend loosening the mounting screws on the window and reinstalling it on the right side of the fence (see Figure 32) so workpieces will not cover the pointer window when preparing to cut.

fence to pivot outward not more than 1⁄64" from

being parallel to the blade. This creates a

slightly larger opening between the fence and

the blade, at the rear of the blade, to reduce

the risk of workpiece binding or burning as

it is fed through the cut. Many woodworkers

intentionally set up their fence in this man-

ner. Keep this in mind before adjusting your

fence. For more details see Figure 121 on

Page 71.

On the Model G0690, if you move the pointer win- dow to the right side of the fence, you may have to trim the last two inches of the scale so it will not protrude past the end of the fence tube.

One option for using the pointer window on the left side of the fence is to use it in conjunction with a small, left-reading scale (not included).
