e.
(3) Place the fence back on saw table and notice
that the lock handle offers no resistance at any
position.
(4) Place the lock handle in "locked" position, and,
using a 1/8-inch hex-L wrench inserted into the
fence-pawl set screw from underneath the saw
table, tighten the set screw finger tight. (See
figure 27.) Do not use wrench or pliers- finger
tight only.
15) Raise the lock handle, push the fence to one side
(off square) at the rear. Then lock the fence with
the lock handle, while watching to make sure it
"corrects" itself. Repeat this operation two or
more times. The fence should "'correct" itself
each time it is locked.
(6) Raise the lock handle and align the fence with
the miter groove (at the front end of the groove)
as shown in figure 23. Push the lock handle dawn.
17) Check for correct alignment with saw table
groove for the full length of the fence. If it is
aligned at the front but out of alignment at the
rear, loosen the two hex-head screws on top of
the channel near the front (figure 28) just enough
to permit the channel to slip when tapped lightly
with the palm of one hand. Tap the channet at
the rear of the fence with one hand until it is
aligned with the table groove. Tighten the two
hex-head screws securely and recheck. More
than one triat may be required, as tightening
the screws may change the setting slightly.
(8) Check for "automatic correcting" by releasing
the lock lever, shifting the fence off square at
the rear, then locking it. The fence should square
itself automatically and be flush (parallel) with
the miter groove each time the handle is locked
down,
(9) Lock the fence with the lock handle, and, using
a 5/32-inch hex-L wrench, tighten the fence lock
set screw at the rear, hand tight only. (See
figure 29.) Make sure the fence is "secure" to
the table at the rear.
NOTE: If the fence fails to square itself every-
time, check for any burr or foreign material
on the surface of the fence head where it
contacts the saw table. Also check for nicks
or burrs in edge of saw table_ Stone off any
irregularities on these surfaces.
Aligning Rip Fence Plastic indicators.
(1) If for any reason the tilt hand-wheel has been
rotated during preceding operations, rotate it
clockwise until it stops (tilt pointer at "O").
(2) Raise saw blade above the table surface by
rotating the elevation hand-wheel clockwise
(3) Position the rip fence on the right-hand side of
saw blade with the fence channel one inch from
the saw blade and lock the fence. Be sure to use
one of the teeth bent (set) to the right of blade
and measure from this tooth to the fence, since
this determines your width of cut. (See figure 30.)
This distance should be measured accurately
with a scale.
