you may need to recalibrate the fence scale after
changing or adjusting the blade, or if the scale
is not producing accurate cuts. recalibrate the
fence scale by adjusting the hairline indicator on
the fence and testing your adjustment by cutting a
piece of scrap wood.

To calibrate the scale:

1. Set the fence anywhere along the scale and

locate a piece of scrap wood with at least one
straight edge.

Note: Joint the edge with a jointer if needed
to make the edge straight.

2. hold the straight edge of the workpiece firmly

against the fence, and feed the workpiece
through the saw blade with a push stick.

3. measure the width of the cut workpiece. the

width of the workpiece should match the
reading on the fence scale.

5. re-tighten the screws—the scale is now cor-

rectly calibrated.

4. if the reading on the scale is not the same

as the width of the cut workpiece, loosen the
two screws on the magnifying window (see

figure 69) and adjust it to match the width of
the cut workpiece.
