Step 7.
Before tightening the carriages against the under- side of the fence, use Figure 30 to get them posi- tioned correctly. The distance ''Y'' between the front and rear carriage should equal the distance between fence rails + 17⁄16''.
Step 8.
Once reassembled, proceed to work through Section III, Part D & E to get the front and rear clamps adjusted properly.
C. FRONT CLAMP WILL NOT
ADJUST
If the cap screws (#37) that hold the front carriage (#30) to the fence are not tight enough, the car- riage may shift slightly when locked, thus releas- ing pressure on the front clamp.
Step 1.
Reference Figure 31 to verify the position of the front carriage relative to the front of the fence.
Note: To properly tighten the cap screws (#37), insert the long leg of the 5mm Allen wrench into the hex socket of the cap screw and apply torque to the short leg of the Allen wrench using an adjustable open end wrench.
Step 2.
If the front clamp cannot be adjusted tight enough with the front carriage in its standard position, shift the carriage forward 1⁄16" so that the front dimension in Figure 30 becomes 9⁄16" and work through the adjustment procedure again.
