ADJUSTMENTS
Your SHOP FOX® Classic Fence requires little adjustment since most of the features are built- in to the fence at the factory. The primary adjustment is to adjust the fence so it is parallel to the saw blade.
UNPLUG the saw power cord, and TURN OFF the power switch before you begin fence adjustment procedures. Accidental saw startup while adjusting the fence will result in serious personal injury.
Fence Parallelism
If your table saw has been properly adjusted, the saw blade should be parallel to the miter slot. Refer to your table saw manual for the proper procedure to check and adjust the saw blade to the miter slot correctly.
1.Locate the two setscrews on the lower edge of the fence bracket. See Figure 9.
2.Turn the setscrews to align the edge of the fence to the edge of the miter slot while alternately locking and unlocking the fence lock lever.
3.Check to see if the fence is parallel along the length of the miter slot, carefully slide the tip of your finger along the edge of the miter slot and the fence to detect a variation in spacing.
4.Readjust the setscrews as required.
If the wood is binding when fed through the | ||||||
table saw and the cut edge is burned, the fence | ||||||
may need to be adjusted out slightly. Use the | ||||||
setscrews to adjust the back end of the fence | ||||||
approximately | 1 | ⁄64" away from the miter slot. | ||||

DO NOT cut on the left side of the blade if the fence was adjusted for cutting on the right side of the blade. The wood will pinch and could cause dangerous kick-back. Readjust the fence when changing the side of the blade you are cutting on.
