1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2. Make sure the table is properly aligned with the

blade (refer to

Page.19).

3. Mount the fence on the right side of the blade

and even with the miter slot (see

example).

— If the fence face is even with the miter slot from

front-to-back, skip to

Step.5.

— If the fence face is not even with the miter slot

along its length, continue with

Step.4.

4. Loosen the four cap screws shown in Figure.25,

adjust the fence until it is even with the miter slot

from front-to-back, then re-tighten the cap screws

to secure the setting.

with the miter slot, refer to Blade Lead on

5. Note the gap between the fence and the table along

the entire length of the blade.

— If the gap is not even, loosen the hex nut on the

rub foot (see

out until the gap is even along the length of the

fence. When you are satisfied, re-tighten the hex

nut to secure the setting.
