The fable saw has been adjusted at the factory for mak-
Irg very accurate cuts. However, some ol the componenfs
might have been jarred out of alignment during shipping.

become necessary due to wear.
To avoid unnecessary set-ups arid adiL,[stments, a good
practice is to check your setups carefully with a tram-
ing square and make practice cuts in scrap wood before
making linish cuts in good worl_pieces. Do not start any
adjusfments until you have checked with a square and
made test cuts to be sure adjustments are needed.
