Step 6.
Once the front clamp is properly adjusted, rein- stall both cotter pins. If the front clamp cannot be made to function properly, refer to Section V, Troubleshooting on page 20.
Step 7.
The procedure for adjusting the rear clamp is vir- tually identical to the procedure for adjusting the front clamp. Disable the front clamp by temporar- ily removing the cotter pin and pivot pin in the front clamp assembly. Figure 15.

Step 8.
Push down the locking lever and test the grip of the rear clamp by pushing from side to side on the back end of the fence. If the clamp holds securely under a lateral force of 25 pounds, the rear clamp requires no further adjustment. If the rear clamp slips under 25 pounds of lateral force, adjustment will be necessary.
Step 9.
To adjust the rear clamp, first remove the clamp assembly from the two yokes by removing the two cotter pins and pivot pins (#8 & 16). Figure 16.

Step 10.
Increase the clamping force by unscrewing the longer yoke (#22) half a turn and retest. If more adjustment is required, screw the shorter yoke (#10) in half a turn. If further adjustment is required, continue to work back and forth between the two yokes so that both are adjusted equally.
Step 11.
To reduce the clamping force, screw the longer yoke in or the shorter yoke out.
Step 12.
Reinstall all pivot pins and cotter pins and test the clamping force of the entire unit. Locking lever pressure should not exceed 20 pounds. The fence should be able to withstand approximately 50 pounds of lateral force.
CAUTION: Through repeated use and wear, re- adjustment of the front and rear clamps and handle throw may be necessary for safe operation and maximum performance.
