SETUP
Aligning Fence
To ensure cutting accuracy when the fence is first
installed, the fence should be aligned with the miter slot.
To align the fence parallel with the miter slot, do these
steps:
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. Make sure the miter slot is aligned with the bandsaw
blade (see Page 27).
3. If the fence is mounted on the left-hand side of the
blade, remove it and remount it next to the miter
slot.
4. Loosen the three cap screws that secure the rail to
the table (see Figure 38).
5. Adjust the fence face parallel with the edge of the
miter slot, as shown in Figure 39.
6. Tighten the cap screws that secure the rail to the
table, being careful not to move the fence.

table.

NOTICE
Adjusting the fence parallel to the miter slot does
not guarantee straight cuts. The miter slot may
need to be adjusted parallel to the side of the
blade. Refer to the "Aligning Table" instructions on
Page 27.
