ALIGN THE PRO FENCE PARALLEL WITH THE WORKTABLE
8. Place the miter gauge in the left slot of the worktable on the infeed side. Place the Pro Fence on the right side of the saw table.
9. Insert the long 5/32" Allen wrench through the miter gauge and secure it using the short 5/32" Allen wrench and a set screw borrowed from the tool rest.
10. Move the fence toward the Allen wrench until it just touches it.
11. Lock the lower fence lock handle first, then lock the upper fence lock handle to secure both ends of the pro fence.
12. Slide the miter gauge back and forth in the slot. The tip of the Allen wrench should keep in slight contact with the fence. Watch that you don't scratch the fence.
13. If the allen wrench pulls away from or binds against the fence, the fence needs aligning. If so, do the following:
a. Using the short 5/32”” short Allen wrench, loosen the four button head cap screws (3), located on the top of the fence, slightly. They should be just tight enough to require firm pressure to align the fence.
b. Raise the upper fence lock handle only to unlock the rear of the fence.
c. Adjust the rear end of the fence so that it just touches the allen wrench as the miter guage slides along the
fence.
d. When alignment is reached, lock the upper fence lock handle. Slide the miter gauge back and forth to double check your alignment. Using the short 5/32”” Allen wrench, tighten the four button head cap screws (3) completely.
