SECTION V: TROUBLESHOOTING
A. RAILS TOO CLOSE
TOGETHER
If your rails are less than 263⁄4" apart, you will need to add spacers between the rails and table until the distance between the rails is 27" ± 1⁄4". Use flat washers to adjust the rail to rail distance.
B. RAILS TOO FAR APART
If your fence rails are farther apart than 2711⁄16'', this fence cannot be made to work on the saw without considerable modifications. Contact Woodstock International at (360)
Step 1.
Remove the plastic plug (#38) and unhook the return spring (#26) from the rear fence cap (#27). Needle nose pliers work well for connecting and disconnecting the return spring.
Step 2.
Remove the front and rear clamping jaws. Keep them organized so they can be reinstalled prop- erly.
Step 3.
Remove the short and long yokes from within the front and rear carriage. Count the number of turns required to remove each one and lay the yokes with the jaw assemblies. Recording the number of turns will ease readjustment of the clamping pres- sure after reassembly.
Step 4.
Remove the front and rear carriages (#30 & 44) from the bottom of the fence. Each is held on by two socket head cap screws (#37). Now the inter- nal mechanism can be slid out the front as one piece.
Step 5.
The tie rod (#20) can now be adjusted so that the distance '''X'' between the two connecting yokes (#14) equals the inside dimension between the two mounting rails plus 33 ⁄16". Figure 28.

Step 6.
Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly, with one special note. After sliding the internal mecha- nism back into the fence, be sure that the two short yokes (#14) attached to the rocker plates (#9) are sticking up through their respective slots in the rocker mounts (#11). If they have pivoted out of position, they will remain stuck that way once the carriages are remounted. Figure 29.
