SETUP
Adjusting Fence
The fence must be aligned with the blade to ensure
accurate cutting results. This is best done by aligning
the fence with the miter slot after the table is properly
aligned.
Tools Needed Qty
Hex Wrench 5mm ...............................................1
Wrench 10mm ...................................................1
To align the fence with the miter slot, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. Make sure the table is properly aligned with the
blade (refer to Page 19).
3. Mount the fence on the right side of the blade
and even with the miter slot (see Figure 24 for an
example).
— If the fence face is even with the miter slot from
front-to-back, skip to Step 5.
— If the fence face is not even with the miter slot
along its length, continue with Step 4.
4. Loosen the four cap screws shown in Figure 25,
adjust the fence until it is even with the miter slot
from front-to-back, then re-tighten the cap screws
to secure the setting.
Note: If cuts are tapered after aligning the fence
with the miter slot, refer to Blade Lead on
Page 46.
5. Note the gap between the fence and the table along
the entire length of the blade.
— If the gap is not even, loosen the hex nut on the
rub foot (see Figure 26), adjust the foot in or
out until the gap is even along the length of the
fence. When you are satisfied, re-tighten the hex
nut to secure the setting.
