ADJUSTING THE FENCE
1 . The Fence holds the work piece in a fi xed position while the

Table and or the blade assembly are adjusted in a miter or

bevel angle .

2 . To make accurate cuts, the Fence must be perpendicular

(at a 90º angle) to the Saw Blade .

3 . Before beginning work, make a test cut on scrap material with

the Table set at 90º .

4 . Check the cut with an accurate square . You can also reverse the

two pieces, hold the cut ends together, and hold a good straight

edge along the side of the pieces .

5 . if either test reveals that the cut is not a true 90º angle, you must

adjust the Fence before

beginning work .

6 . To adjust the Fence, fi rst unplug the tool .
7 . lower the blade assembly and lock it in place using the locking pin .
8 . lay a reliable carpenter’s square on the table with one edge along the blade and the other along

the Fence . any inaccuracy should be visible . noTe: The square must contact the surface of the

blade, not the teeth, for an accurate reading .

9 . The Fence is held in place with bolts at each end . loosen the bolts slightly, and gently tap the

Fence into position using a soft mallet . Retighten the bolts and make another test cut . Repeat the

process until the Fence is adjusted accurately .

10 . once the Fence is accurately adjusted, tighten the bolts fi rmly in place . Recheck one last time,

then proceed to work .
