Fence
The fence must engage and square up on the
front rail before the rear clamp engages the back
rail. In essence, the rear clamp should act as a
secondary mechanism for maintaining fence
position. When adjusted correctly, the lever lock
should only begin to apply pressure on the back
rail over the last one third of its stroke. To adjust
the fence:
1. First, make sure the front clamp is engaging
the front tube with the lock handle at one half
its throw. If the front clamp requires adjust-
ment, loosen the check nut. Figure 26. Turn
the adjusting bolt in if the front clamp is too
far from the tube, out if it is too close.
2. Now slide the fence along the rail until it is
aligned with the edge of the miter slot. Lock
the fence down.
3. With the fence in the locked position, loosen
the rear lock adjustment (the slotted screw
on the front of the fence) until the rear lock-
ing lever ceases to engage the rear rail.

of the fence until it is parallel with the miter
