6. Thread a hex nut (A, Fig. 17) onto the sliding
pad (B, Fig. 17) and insert through the fence
and rear hook (C, Fig. 17). Secure in place
using a hex nut, lock washer and flat washer
(D, Fig. 17). The hook (C, Fig. 17) should be
adjusted so that it overlaps the rear rail by
approximately 1/8".
7. When the fence assembly is placed on the
table, the rear hook (C, Fig. 17) should
engage the rear rail.
8. The gap between the bottom of the rip fence
and the table top should be just enough that
the fence will not scrape along the table, and
the gap should be equal along the length of
the fence. To do this, lock the fence assembly
to the front rail by pushing down on the fence
handle. The rail screws should still have “play”
in them.
9. Lift up on both guide rail and fence together
until the gap at the front edge of the table is
acceptable. Tighten both screws on the front
rail (B, Fig. 14).
10. Also adjust the “play” of the rear rail (B, Fig.
13) until the fence/table gap is equal. The
rails and rip fence should now be at the
proper height in relation to the table. Of
course, the rear hook (Fig. 17) can be
adjusted further to help make the fence/table
gap equal.
11. Use a square to check that the fence is
perpendicular to the table top (A, Fig. 18). If it
is not, one end of the front and/or rear rails
will need to be loosened and raised or
lowered to make the rail (and thus the fence)
parallel with the table top.
12. Position the fence so that it just contacts the
blade without bending it (see Fig. 19), and
lock the fence handle to the guide rail. If the
fence is not parallel to the blade, loosen the
four hex cap screws (A, Fig. 19). Align the
fence with the blade and tighten the four hex
cap screws.
13. With the fence still contacting the blade as
shown, check to see that the pointer (B, Fig.
19) is aligned with the zero marking on the
guide rail. If adjustment is necessary, loosen
the screw that holds the pointer in place, and
slide the pointer. If greater adjustment is
necessary, loosen the guide rail and slide it as
needed. Re-tighten guide rail screws.
