Fence

-15-

Step 3.

Once adjusted, tighten the setscrew and recheck

the fence alignment. Be aware that behind each

setscrew there is a plastic plug (#31) that protects

the threaded axle from damage and creates a soft

stop for the setscrews. Do not over-tighten the set-

screw after adjustments have been made.

Step 4.

It may be necessary to adjust the axle slightly to

compensate for the slight axle shift induced by

tightening the setscrew. Remember, the fence

should be

1

64

" away from the miter slot measured

at the back end of the fence.

Step 5.

If for some reason you are having problems

adjusting the fence, please refer to the Section V,

Troubleshooting on page 20.

F. 90˚ TO TABLETOP

The fence must also be adjusted so the face of the

fence is square or 90° to the table surface. Use a

good quality square to check. To square the fence

to the table, proceed as follows:

Step 1.

Unlock the fence and loosen the setscrew (#32) on

the left side. Figure 20.

Step 2.

The left roller axle is threaded into the fence body.

As the roller axle is rotated, the roller will move

up and down a small amount. Since the rollers are

firmly held against the front rail, this has the effect

of changing the angle of the fence with respect to

the table top. Rotate the left roller axle (#34) while

monitoring the gap between the square and the

fence. Figure 21.

NOTE: The nut under the left roller could come

loose during adjustment. If this occurs, lock the

axle by tightening the setscrew and then tighten

the nut. Use a liquid thread locker on the nut if the

problem persists.
