Adjusting Your Rip Fence

The next step is to align the face plates to be

parallel to the miter slots. Begin by sliding the

fence along the main tube until the left face plate

is flush with the right edge of the right miter slot.

Lock the fence handle and check that the face

plate is flush with the miter slot edge along

its whole length (see Fig. 21). You can check this

either visually or by running your finger along the

face plate and miter slot edge. If there is any

misalignment, you can correct it by turning one

of the two parallelism adjustment screws in the

vertical edge of the fence cross-bracket (see

Fig. 16).

To adjust the angle of the face plates, place a

combination square on the table top and against

the left face plate (see Fig. 23). Use a 6 mm hex

key to adjust the leveling screws as necessary

until the face plate is parallel to the vertical edge

of the combination square.

The next step is to adjust the face plates to

be perpendicular to the table top. The angle

between the face plates and the table is set by

the two plastic leveling screws in the horizontal

portion of the cross-bracket (see Fig. 22). The

leveling screws raise and lower each end of the

horizontal portion of the fence cross-bracket

with respect to the main tube while the two face

plates remain parallel with each other. Adjusting

the leveling screws tilts the fence cross-bracket

as needed to make the face plates perpendicular

to the table.
