Woodstock W1720, W1716 instruction manual Adjustments, Fence Parallelism

ADJUSTMENTS

The SHOP FOX® W1716/W1720 Aluma-Classic™ Fence requires little adjustment since most of the features are built in at the factory. The pri- mary adjustment is to position the fence so it is parallel to the saw blade.

Fence Parallelism

If your table saw has been properly adjusted, the saw blade should be parallel to the miter slot. Refer to your table saw manual for the proper procedure to check and adjust the saw blade to the miter slot correctly.

To adjust the SHOP FOX® Aluma-Classic™ Fence parallel with the miter slot, do these steps:

1.UNPLUG THE TABLE SAW!

2.Align the edge of the fence with the edge of the miter slot.

3.Lock the fence and check the alignment between the left edge and the miter slot.

4.Adjust the setscrews shown in Figure 13 to adjust the angle of the fence. Note— The left setscrew will move the fence left and the right setscrew will move the fence right.

5.Adjust the fence until the back end falls

1⁄64" away from the miter slot so the work- piece clears the opposite end of the saw blade without binding. This is called “lead”

(pronounced leed).

DISCONNECT power to the saw at this time! Otherwise, serious injury may occur.

ADJUSTMENTS

KICK-BACK! DO NOT cut on the left side of the blade if the fence lead is adjusted for cutting on the right side of the blade. Re- adjust the lead when changing the side of the blade you are cutting on.
