Step 3.
Continue to rotate the axle until the fence is square to the table. Tighten the setscrew.
Step 4.
It is advisable at this point to recheck parallel- ism between the fence and the blade. If further adjustment is required, continue to check back and forth between parallelism and squareness until both are adjusted satisfactorily. Remember to adjust with the setscrews loose and measure with the setscrews tight. This procedure may seem a bit tedious, but this is a one time adjust- ment that, if done patiently, will ensure excellent performance.

Step 2.
Remove the fence and apply a strip of masking tape along the the rail 3⁄16'' in from the front edge.
