Step 4.
Reinstall the fence on the rails and slide it along slowly, checking to make sure that neither the roll- ers nor the upper clamp jaw contact the scale.
Step 5.
Note which side of the indicator the hairline is imprinted on. Orient the indicator with the hairline mark face down against the front rail. The hairline is imprinted off center to simplify adjustment of the indicator if the fence is faced with 3⁄4'' material. If the fence is not faced, place the hairline off cen- ter to the right as viewed from above. If the fence is faced, position the hairline to the left.
Step 6.
The indicator can be shimmed downward for bet- ter reading accuracy. This eliminates any shifting that may seem to occur between the hairline and the marks on the scale when viewed from any position not directly overhead. Figure 24.
Step 7.
To fine tune the position of the hairline indicator, make a test cut and adjust the indicator to corre- spond with the actual width of the test board. This method accounts for any vibration or wobble that may be present in the spinning blade. This proce- dure must be repeated every time the saw blade is changed to maintain accuracy.

H. FENCE STOP
Once the fence has been adjusted, install the fence stop through the hole located near the end of the scale on the front rail. Figure 25. This prevents the fence from accidentally being rolled off the end of the rails.
