Increase the clamping force by unscrewing the
longer yoke (#22) half a turn and retest. If more
adjustment is required, screw the shorter yoke
(#10) in half a turn. If further adjustment is
required, continue to work back and forth between
the two yokes so that both are adjusted equally.

To reduce the clamping force, screw the longer
yoke in or the shorter yoke out.

Reinstall all pivot pins and cotter pins and test the
clamping force of the entire unit. Locking lever
pressure should not exceed 20 pounds. The fence
should be able to withstand approximately 50
pounds of lateral force.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
: Through repeated use and wear, re-
adjustment of the front and rear clamps and han-
dle throw may be necessary for safe operation and
maximum performance.

Push down the locking lever and test the grip of
the rear clamp by pushing from side to side on the
back end of the fence. If the clamp holds securely
under a lateral force of 25 pounds, the rear clamp
requires no further adjustment. If the rear clamp
slips under 25 pounds of lateral force, adjustment
will be necessary.

To adjust the rear clamp, first remove the clamp
assembly from the two yokes by removing the two
cotter pins and pivot pins (#8 & 16).

Once the front clamp is properly adjusted, reinstall
both cotter pins. If the front clamp cannot be made
to function properly, refer to

The procedure for adjusting the rear clamp is vir-
tually identical to the procedure for adjusting the
front clamp. Disable the front clamp by temporar-
ily removing the cotter pin and pivot pin in the
front clamp assembly.
