17. Slide fence up against right hand edge of
miter slot, and lock it in place. Examine how
fence lines up with miter slot.
Note: It is permissible for back of fence to
pivot outward not more than
1
⁄
64
" from being
parallel with miter slot. This creates a slightly
larger opening between fence and blade, at
rear of blade, to reduce risk of workpiece
binding or burning as it is fed through cut.
Many woodworkers intentionally set up their
fence in this manner. Keep this in mind
before adjusting your fence. For more details,
see
Figure 122 on Page 71.

you MUST adjust fence, as described in

is parallel.
—If miter slot is not parallel with blade, you
must follow procedures described in

18. Carefully slide fence so it barely touches saw
blade and lock it in place.
19. Lightly mark "0" location on fence tube (under
indicator line on pointer window) with a pen-
cil, then remove fence.
20. Peel tape, carefully align "0" mark on scale
with pencil mark you made on fence tube,
and make sure tape is parallel to fence tube
along its length.
21. Re-install fence, move it over to just touch
blade, and verify that indicator line is directly
over "0" mark.
—If you need to correct position of indicator
line, loosen button head screws on pointer
window, adjust pointer window so line is
over "0" mark on tape (see
Figure 28),
then secure screws.
