To.align.the.fence.with.the.miter.slot,.do.these.steps:
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. Make sure the table is properly aligned with the
blade (refer to Page.19).
3. Mount the fence on the right side of the blade
and even with the miter slot (see Figure.24 for an
example).
— If the fence face is even with the miter slot from
front-to-back, skip to Step.5.
— If the fence face is not even with the miter slot
along its length, continue with Step.4.
4. Loosen the four cap screws shown in Figure.25,
adjust the fence until it is even with the miter slot
from front-to-back, then re-tighten the cap screws
to secure the setting.
Note:.If cuts are tapered after aligning the fence
with the miter slot, refer to Blade Lead on
Page 46.
5. Note the gap between the fence and the table along
the entire length of the blade.
— If the gap is not even, loosen the hex nut on the
rub foot (see Figure.26), adjust the foot in or
out until the gap is even along the length of the
fence. When you are satisfied, re-tighten the hex
nut to secure the setting.
