SETUP
4. Put on a pair of heavy leather gloves and use the
included arbor wrenches to tighten the arbor nut
(turn clockwise to tighten), as shown in Figure 27.
Checking Fence Parallelism
1. Slide the fence along the rail. If it drags across the
table, then adjust the foot at the rear of the fence
with a 6mm hex wrench to raise the fence off of
the table, just enough so that the gap between the
fence and the table is even from front to back.
2. Slide the fence up against the right hand edge of the
miter slot, and lock it in place. Examine how the
fence lines up with the miter slot (see Figure 28).
Note: It is permissible for the back of the fence
to pivot outward not more than
1
⁄64" from being
parallel to the blade. This creates a slightly larger
opening between the fence and the rear of the
blade to reduce the risk of workpiece binding
or burning as it is fed through the cut. Many
woodworkers intentionally set up their fence in this
manner. Keep this in mind before adjusting your
fence. For more details see Figure 107 on Page 71.
— If the fence/miter slot are still parallel with the
blade, proceed to Fence Scale.
— If the fence is not parallel to the blade/miter
slot, then you MUST adjust the fence, as described
in Fence Adjustments on Page 70, so that it is
parallel to the blade.
— If the miter slot is not parallel with the blade, you
must follow the procedures described in Miter Slot
to Blade Parallelism on Page 67.
Fence Scale
Since the adhesive fence scale will be difficult to remove
once it installed, determine whether you will use the
pointer window on the right or the left side of the fence
before installing the scale.
The pointer window may come pre-installed on the left
side of the fence. However, we recommend loosening the
mounting screws on the window and re-installing it on the
right side of the fence (see Figure 29) so workpieces will
not cover the pointer window when preparing to cut.
