4. Put on a pair of heavy leather gloves and use the included arbor wrenches to tighten the arbor nut (turn clockwise to tighten), as shown in Figure 27.

Checking Fence Parallelism

1.Slide the fence along the rail. If it drags across the table, then adjust the foot at the rear of the fence with a 6mm hex wrench to raise the fence off of the table, just enough so that the gap between the fence and the table is even from front to back.

2.Slide the fence up against the right hand edge of the miter slot, and lock it in place. Examine how the

fence lines up with the miter slot (see Figure 28).

Figure 27. Securing blade.

 

Note: It is permissible for the back of the fence to pivot outward not more than 164" from being parallel to the blade. This creates a slightly larger opening between the fence and the rear of the blade to reduce the risk of workpiece binding

or burning as it is fed through the cut. Many woodworkers intentionally set up their fence in this manner. Keep this in mind before adjusting your fence. For more details see Figure 107 on Page 71.

If the fence/miter slot are still parallel with the blade, proceed to Fence Scale.

If the fence is not parallel to the blade/miter slot, then you MUST adjust the fence, as described in Fence Adjustments on Page 70, so that it is parallel to the blade.

If the miter slot is not parallel with the blade, you must follow the procedures described in Miter Slot to Blade Parallelism on Page 67.

Fence Scale

Since the adhesive fence scale will be difficult to remove once it installed, determine whether you will use the pointer window on the right or the left side of the fence before installing the scale.

The pointer window may come pre-installed on the left side of the fence. However, we recommend loosening the mounting screws on the window and re-installing it on the right side of the fence (see Figure 29) so workpieces will not cover the pointer window when preparing to cut.
