Fence Adjustments
There are four main adjustments for the fence: 1) Height
off the table, 2) squareness, 3) parallelism with the miter
slot, and 4) clamping pressure. These adjustments are
interconnected and some repetition may be needed when
adjusting.

Height and Squareness
The fence should be adjusted high enough off the table
so that it does not drag across the surface or allow wood
chips to get caught between the fence and table. Also,
the fence face must be square to the table in order to
produce accurate cuts.
To check/adjust the fence height and squareness to the
table, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!
2. Remove the fence from the saw and place it on a
flat surface.
3. Unscrew the front thumb knobs and set screws
shown in Figure 103 until they are barely threaded
into the fence flange.
4. Back out the rear set screws until they are just
barely threaded into the fence flange (see Figure
103).
5. Install the fence onto the table.
6. Loosen the top lock nuts on the fence flange and the
lock nut on the rear rail foot (see Figure 104).
7. Adjust the top set screws and rear foot set screw so
there is approximately 1 ⁄
16
" clearance between the
bottom of the fence and the table, front-to-back and
side-to-side, then re-tighten the lock nuts.
