D. FENCE CLAMPING

PRESSURE

If you can move the locked fence by exerting

approximately 50 lbs. of lateral force, the fence

clamping mechanism will require adjustment. It is

quicker and easier to adjust the fence while it is on

the saw; however, reaching underneath the fence

may be awkward for some people. Removing the

fence and laying it upside down on a bench to

work on is another option. With this method, you

may have to slide the fence on and off several

times.

Before starting, review the adjustment steps while

looking at the parts breakdown near the end of this

manual.

Step 1.

The front clamp (#17 & 18) is adjusted first and

to do so, it is necessary to disable the rear clamp

(#23 & 24). Disable the rear clamp by removing

the cotter pin (#16) and pivot pin (#8) located on

the lower jaw (#24) of the rear clamp. Figure 13.

Needle nose pliers will ease removal of the cotter

pin.

Step 2.

Now engage the locking lever several times to

see how securely the front clamp holds. It should

only require 5-10 pounds of force to push the lever

into the locked position. Try moving the fence

from side to side using the locking handle. If the

front clamp slips under a lateral load of 25 pounds

or less, then the clamping pressure needs to be

adjusted.

Step 3.

Remove the two cotter and pivot pins shown in

Figure 14 and remove the upper/lower jaw assem-

bly as one unit. This will leave two steel yokes

(#14 & 15) exposed, one long and one short.

Step 4.

To increase clamping pressure, either unscrew the

longer yoke half a turn or screw the shorter yoke

in half a turn. Adjustment should be done in half

turn increments.

Step 5.

To reduce clamping pressure, turn the yokes in the

opposite direction. After adjusting one yoke half

a turn, reassemble the clamp and test the unit. If

more adjustment is required, turn the other yoke

half a turn and retest. Do not over-adjust.
