If the cap screws (#37) that hold the rear carriage
(#44) to the fence are not tight enough, the car-
riage may shift slightly when the jaws are locked.
This will loosen the grip of the jaws on the rail and
prevent the jaws from staying in adjustment.

Check and adjust the position of the rear carriage
so that it extends
1
⁄8" past the end cap at the tail of
the fence.

to properly tighten the cap screws (#37 and
#21), insert the long leg of the 5mm Allen wrench
into the hex socket of the cap screw and use an
adjustable open end wrench on the short leg of the
Allen wrench to tighten.

The fence could be adjusted too
close to the tabletop and may be contacting the
edge of the table or extension wing.
SSoolluuttiioonn::
If necessary, raise any portion of the
rail(s) to eliminate interference.

The hairline indicator may be
rubbing on the front rail.
SSoolluuttiioonn::
Check to see if it may be shimmed down
too far or tipped forward. Reduce shim stack or if
the indicator is tipped, add shims under the back
of the clamp to level it out.
PPoossssiibbllee pprroobblleemm::
The indicator clamp may be
rubbing the front rail if it is installed backwards.
SSoolluuttiioonn::
Reverse the indicator clamp if neces-
sary.
PPoossssiibbllee pprroobblleemm::
The adjustment nut or stud (#47
& #48) in the rear carriage may be rubbing the rear
rail in some areas.
SSoolluuttiioonn::
Look carefully underneath the rear car-
riage in the areas of rough travel. This problem
may be solved by any one of the following steps:
aa..
Take out a washer between the table and rail in
that area. Reducing the distance between the
two rails will eliminate the problem.
bb..
Loosening the spring tension will fix the prob-
lem if only the stud (#47) is rubbing.
cc..
Shift the rear carriage
1
⁄16" further towards the
back of the fence and readjust clamping pres-
sure.
SStteepp 22..
If the rear clamp still won’t tighten up enough,
shift the rear carriage another
1
⁄16" past the tail end
of the fence and repeat the adjustment procedure.
SStteepp 33..
If the rear clamp will not open up far enough, shift
the rear carriage so that it extends only
1
⁄16" past
the end of the fence and readjust.
