SECTION V: TROUBLESHOOTING
A. RAILS TOO CLOSE
TOGETHER
If your rails are less than 26 3 ⁄
4
" apart, you will
need to add spacers between the rails and table
until the distance between the rails is 27" ± 1 ⁄
4
".
Use flat washers to adjust the rail to rail distance.
Step 6.
Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly, with
one special note. After sliding the internal mecha-
nism back into the fence, be sure that the two short
yokes (#14) attached to the rocker plates (#9) are
sticking up through their respective slots in the
rocker mounts (#11). If they have pivoted out of
position, they will remain stuck that way once the
carriages are remounted. Figure 29.
Step 4.
Remove the front and rear carriages (#30 & 44)
from the bottom of the fence. Each is held on by
two socket head cap screws (#37). Now the inter-
nal mechanism can be slid out the front as one
piece.
Step 5.
The tie rod (#20) can now be adjusted so that the
distance '''X'' between the two connecting yokes
(#14) equals the inside dimension between the two
mounting rails plus 3 3 ⁄
16
". Figure 28.
B. RAILS TOO FAR APART
If your fence rails are farther apart than 27 11 ⁄
16
'', this
fence cannot be made to work on the saw without
considerable modifications. Contact Woodstock
International at (360) 734-3482 for further infor-
mation. To adjust the fence for rails up to 27 11 ⁄
16
'',
it will be necessary to shift the rear carriage (#44)
towards the back of the fence and adjust the inter-
nal tie rod (#20) an equal amount. First adjust the
tie rod by removing the internal mechanism from
the fence. The steps for removal are as follows:
Step 1.
Remove the plastic plug (#38) and unhook the
return spring (#26) from the rear fence cap (#27).
Needle nose pliers work well for connecting and
disconnecting the return spring.
Step 2.
Remove the front and rear clamping jaws. Keep
them organized so they can be reinstalled prop-
erly.
Step 3.
Remove the short and long yokes from within the
front and rear carriage. Count the number of turns
required to remove each one and lay the yokes
with the jaw assemblies. Recording the number of
turns will ease readjustment of the clamping pres-
sure after reassembly.
