Fence to Table Clearance
1.Check the clearance between the table and the bottom of the fence (Figure 10). The fence should not rub against the table surface but be slightly above it. This gap should be the same at the front of the table as it is at the back.
2.If the clearance is not the same, use a combination of the following two adjustments:
•With a 7/32” hex wrench, rotate the two nylon adjustment screws (A, Figure 16) the same amount to raise or lower the fence body from the guide tube. Clockwise raises the fence body, counterclockwise lowers.
•And/or....Adjust the back end of the fence by loosening one hex nut and tightening the other (A, Figure 11) in order to raise or lower the sliding pad (B, Figure 11) as needed. When the
Setting Cursor (Zero) Position
Refer to Figure 12.
The fence must be set so that the cursor reads zero at the line of the blade. The resaw fence must be installed on the fence body in vertical position, and the blade must be installed and fully tensioned.
1.Slide the fence flush against the flat of the blade, as shown. (Do not force the fence into the blade so that the blade bends.)
2.If the cursor is not at zero, loosen the two screws and slide it as needed. Then re- tighten the screws.
Setting Table Parallel to Blade
Refer to Figures 13 and 14.
The table has been aligned by the manufacturer so that the miter slot is parallel to the flat of the blade; it should not require adjustment. However, in the future you may wish to confirm this setting is still accurate. A wide blade is recommended for the procedure.
1.Disconnect band saw from power source.
2.The blade should be fully tensioned and properly tracked (see pages 17 and 18).
3.Place a long straightedge flush against the blade making sure it contacts both front and back of the blade. (Do not deflect the blade by pushing into it.) See Figure 13.
