adjusting the Fence
The Fence holds the work piece in a 1.
fixed position while the Table and or the
blade assembly are adjusted in a miter
or bevel angle.
To make accurate cuts, the Fence must
2.
be perpendicular (at a 90º angle) to the
Saw Blade.
Before beginning work, make a test cut
3.
on scrap material with the Table set at
90º.
Check the cut with an accurate square.
4.
You can also reverse the two pieces,
hold the cut ends together, and hold a
good straight edge along the side of the
pieces.
If either test reveals that the cut is not
5.
a true 90º angle, you must adjust the
Fence before beginning work.
To adjust the Fence, first unplug the tool.
6.
Lower the blade assembly and lock it in 7.
place using the Locking Pin.
Lay a reliable carpenter’s square on
8.
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.
The Fence is held in place with bolts at
9.
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.
Once the Fence is accurately adjusted,
10.
tighten the bolts firmly in place. Recheck
one last time, then proceed to work.
