To check and adjust the 45˚ R fence stop:

1.Loosen the fence tilt lock handle.

2.Rotate the 90˚ stop tab out of the way and ease the fence back with the tilt handle, until it comes to rest on the 45˚ R stop bolt.

3.Use a bevel gauge that is set to 135˚, and place it on the table so the angled portion is against the fence as shown in Figure 40.

4.Check the current position of the fence. If it fits the angle of the bevel gauge, the fence is already set correctly. If it does not, then the fence needs to be adjusted.

5.Loosen the jam nut on the 45˚R fence stop bolt.

6.Adjust the 45˚R fence stop bolt until the fence angle matches the bevel gauge.

7.Tighten the jam nut on the 45˚R stop bolt to secure it in place. The 45˚R fence stop should now be correctly adjusted.

To check and adjust the 90˚ fence stop:

1.Loosen the fence tilt lock handle.

2.Place a 90˚ square on the table and against the fence as shown in Figure 41.

3.Check the current position of the fence. If it fits the 90˚ square, the fence is already set correctly. If it does not, then the fence needs to be adjusted.

4.Loosen the jam nut on the 90˚ stop bolt.

5.Adjust the 90˚ stop bolt until the fence angle matches the 90˚ square.

6.Tighten the jam nut on the 90˚ stop bolt to secure it in place. The 90˚ stop bolt should now be correctly adjusted.
