Scale Calibration
You may need to recalibrate the fence scale after
changing or adjusting the blade, or if the scale
is not producing accurate cuts. Recalibrate the
fence scale by adjusting the hairline indicator on
the fence and testing your adjustment by cutting
a piece of scrap wood.
To calibrate the scale:
1. Set the fence anywhere along the scale and
locate a piece of scrap wood with at least one
straight edge. Joint the edge with a jointer (if
needed) to make the edge
straight.
2. Hold the straight edge of the workpiece firmly
against the fence, and feed the workpiece
through the saw blade with a push stick.
3. Measure the width of the cut workpiece. The
width of the workpiece should match the
reading on the fence scale.
