4. look at the gap between the fence and the
table top.
— if the gap is approximately 1 ⁄
16
" and even
from the front of the table to the back (see
Figure 137), then no additional adjust-
ments are necessary. proceed to
clamping
pressure and parallelism.
—if the gap is uneven, if the fence height is
more than 1 ⁄
8
", or if the fence touches the
table, then continue with Step 5.
3. Adjust the set screws (Figure 136) on top of
the fence bracket to ensure the fence face is
90° to the table.
5. Adjust the fence height with the rear rail foot
until the gap between the table and the fence
is approximately
1 ⁄
16
" and even from the front
of the table to the back.

Fence Adjustments
there are four main adjustments for the fence: 1)
square, (2) height, (3) parallelism, and (4) clamp-
ing pressure.. Keep in mind that these adjustments
are interconnected and some trial-and-error may
be needed to achieve satisfactory results.

Square and height
the fence face must be square to the table in
order to produce square cuts. Also, the fence
should be adjusted high enough off the table that
it does not drag across the surface.
To check/adjust the fence height and square-
ness to the table:
1. disConnECt sAW From poWEr!
2. place a square on the table against the face
of the fence ( Figure 135) to check if the fence
is square to the table.
— if the fence is not square to the table, pro-
ceed to Step 3.
— if the fence is square to the table, skip
ahead to Step 4.
