SECTION V: TROUBLESHOOTING

A. RAILS TOO CLOSE

TOGETHER

If your rails are less than 26

⁄

" apart, you will

need to add spacers between the rails and table

until the distance between the rails is 27" ±

⁄

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

⁄

". Figure 28.

B. RAILS TOO FAR APART

If your fence rails are farther apart than 27

⁄

'', 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

⁄

'',

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.
