Fence

D. REAR CLAMP WILL NOT

ADJUST

If the cap screws (#37) that hold the rear carriage

(#44) to the fence are not tight enough, the car-

riage may shift slightly when the jaws are locked.

This will loosen the grip of the jaws on the rail and

prevent the jaws from staying in adjustment.

Step 1.

Check and adjust the position of the rear carriage

so that it extends

1

8

" past the end cap at the tail of

the fence. Figure 32.

Note: to properly tighten the cap screws (#37 and

#21), insert the long leg of the 5mm Allen wrench

into the hex socket of the cap screw and use an

adjustable open end wrench on the short leg of the

Allen wrench to tighten.

Figure 32. Rear carriage positioning.

Step 4.

If none of the above steps work, it may be nec-

essary to check and adjust the length of the tie

rod (#20) inside the fence. To proceed, refer to

the instructions in Part B of this troubleshooting

guide.

E. FENCE DOES NOT MOVE

SMOOTHLY

Possible problem: The fence could be adjusted too

close to the tabletop and may be contacting the

edge of the table or extension wing.

Solution: If necessary, raise any portion of the

rail(s) to eliminate interference.

Possible problem: The hairline indicator may be

rubbing on the front rail.

Solution: Check to see if it may be shimmed down

too far or tipped forward. Reduce shim stack or if

the indicator is tipped, add shims under the back

of the clamp to level it out.

Possible problem: The indicator clamp may be

rubbing the front rail if it is installed backwards.

Solution: Reverse the indicator clamp if neces-

sary.

Possible problem: The adjustment nut or stud (#47

& #48) in the rear carriage may be rubbing the rear

rail in some areas.

Solution: Look carefully underneath the rear car-

riage in the areas of rough travel. This problem

may be solved by any one of the following steps:

a. Take out a washer between the table and rail in

that area. Reducing the distance between the

two rails will eliminate the problem.

b. Loosening the spring tension will fix the prob-

lem if only the stud (#47) is rubbing.

c. Shift the rear carriage

1

16

" further towards the

back of the fence and readjust clamping pres-

sure.

Step 2.

If the rear clamp still won’t tighten up enough,

shift the rear carriage another

1

16

" past the tail end

of the fence and repeat the adjustment procedure.

Step 3.

If the rear clamp will not open up far enough, shift

the rear carriage so that it extends only

1

16

" past

the end of the fence and readjust.
