Fence stop installation.

HH.. FFEENNCCEE SSTTOOPP

Once the fence has been adjusted, install the fence

stop through the hole located near the end of the

scale on the front rail.

This prevents the

fence from accidentally being rolled off the end of

the rails.

Location of shims.

Reinstall the fence on the rails and slide it along

slowly, checking to make sure that neither the

rollers nor the upper clamp jaw contact the scale.

Note which side of the indicator the hairline is

imprinted on. Orient the indicator with the hairline

mark face down against the front rail. The hairline

is imprinted off center to simplify adjustment of

the indicator if the fence is faced with

⁄4'' materi-

al. If the fence is not faced, place the hairline off

center to the right as viewed from above. If the

fence is faced, position the hairline to the left.

The indicator can be shimmed downward for bet-

ter reading accuracy. This eliminates any shifting

that may seem to occur between the hairline and

the marks on the scale when viewed from any

position not directly overhead.

To fine tune the position of the hairline indicator,

make a test cut and adjust the indicator to corre-

spond with the actual width of the test board. This

method accounts for any vibration or wobble that

may be present in the spinning blade. This proce-

dure must be repeated every time the saw blade is

changed to maintain accuracy.
