Note: If the front end of the fence needs to
be adjusted up or down, use the set screws
from
Figure 136; however, turn them in
even increments and recheck the square-
ness afterwards.
clamping pressure and parallelism
the fence clamping mechanism adjusts the
clamping pressure to hold your fence securely
and to position the fence parallel with the blade.

To verify fence parallelism:
1. slide the fence along the rail.
—if the fence drags across the table, loosen
the hex nut on the foot at the rear of the
fence and adjust the foot to raise the fence
off of the table so the gap is approximately
1 ⁄
16
" and even from the front of the table to
the back (see Figure 137 on page 70).
tighten the hex nut on the foot to secure
the foot in position.
2. slide the fence up against the right hand
edge of the miter slot, lock it in place, then
raise the blade above the insert. Using a fine
ruler, examine how the fence lines up with the
miter slot and the blade, as shown in
Figure
138.
— if the fence and miter slot are parallel with
the blade, as shown in Figure 138, no fur-
ther adjustments need to be made.
— if the fence is not parallel with the blade/
miter slot, then you must adjust the fence
parallel with 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 66.
To adjust the fence clamping pressure and
parallelism to the blade:
1. disConnECt sAW From poWEr!
2. remove the fence, equally adjust the set
screws shown in Figure 139, then re-install
the fence and check the clamping pressure.
re-adjust as needed until the fence will not
move as pressure is applied against it.

adjust fence parallelism and clamping pressure.

3. mount the fence on the rail again, move it
approximately 4" away from the blade, and
lock it in place.
4. measure the distance between the fence and
the front of the blade, then mark the tooth
that you measured from with a felt-tipped
marker.
