Make sure the handle is in the unlocked “UP” position before placing the fence on the rails. 3.

ADJUSTMENTS The SHOP FOX® W1716/W1720 Aluma-Classic™ Fence requires little adjustment since most of the features are built in at the factory. The primary adjustment is to position the fence so it is parallel to the saw blade. DISCONNECT power to the saw at this time! Otherwise, serious injury may occur. Fence Parallelism If your table saw has been properly adjusted, the saw blade should be parallel to the miter slot.
Scale Installation & Adjustment The self-adhesive scale provides fast and accurate fence positioning. It is best to install the scale after all other adjustments in this section have been made. Figure 15 shows the scale properly installed on the front rail. To install the scale indicator, do these steps: 1. UNPLUG THE TABLE SAW! Figure 15. Scale installed on front rail. 2. Raise the blade to its maximum height. ADJUSTMENTS 3. Position the fence against the right side of the blade. 4.
