To check/adjust the fence height and square- ness to the table:

1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!

2.Place a square on the table against the face of the fence (Figure 117) to check if the fence is square to the table.

—If the fence is not square to the table, pro- ceed to Step 3.

—If the fence is square to the table, skip ahead to Step 4.

3.Adjust the set screws (Figure 118) on top of the fence bracket to ensure the fence face is 90° to the table, then tighten the knurled lock nuts.

4.Look at the gap between the fence and the table top.

—If the gap is approximately 116" and even from the front of the table to the back, then no additional adjustments are necessary.

—If the gap is uneven, if the fence height is more than 18", or if the fence touches the table, then continue with Step 5.

5.Adjust the fence height with the rear rail foot until the gap between the table and the fence is approximately 116" and even from the front of the table to the back.

Note: If the front end of the fence needs to be adjusted up or down, use the set screws from Figure 118; however, turn them in even increments and recheck the square- ness afterwards.

Clamping Pressure and Parallelism

Set screws on the rear side of the fence bracket adjust the clamping pressure to hold your fence securely, and position the fence parallel to the blade.

To adjust the fence clamping pressure and parallelism to the blade:

1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!

2.Remove the fence.

3.Equally adjust the set screws shown in Figure 119 on the rear side of the front bracket as necessary until the clamping pres- sure is strong enough that the fence will not move as pressure is applied against it.
