5. Loosen the locking lever until it is approxi-
mately two-thirds engaged. Tighten the rear
adjusting screw until the rear clamp just
touches the back rail.
6. Loosen the locking lever and slide the fence
along the rail. Return the fence to its position
at the edge of the miter slot and slowly apply
pressure to the lever. If adjustments are cor-
rect, the fence should square itself before
the rear clamp engages. If the rear clamp
engages before the fence is squared, loosen
the screw one quarter turn and re-test.
7. Once the fence is adjusted, check the point-
er and adjust if necessary. Figure 29.

aside.
2. Loosen the blade adjustment bolt. Figure

en the arbor nut. Check that the blade does
not contact any internal parts.
5. Replace the table, wings, and insert. Tighten

steps 1-6. CHECK ALL OTHER ADJUST-
MENTS.
