12Figure 8 – horizontal position8.3 Fence fine adjustRefer to Figure 9.1. Loosen handle (A, Figure 9).2. Loosen knob (B).3. Slide fence to approximate position, based onthe scale measurement aligning with the rightside of fence plate.4. Tighten knob (B).5. Rotate dial (C) to achieve fine adjustment.Distance between incised lines on dial is0.25mm (0.01 inch).6. Tighten handle (A).Figure 98.4 Setting table parallel to bladeRefer to Figures 10 and 11.1. The table has been aligned by themanufacturer so that the miter slot is parallel tothe blade; it should not require adjustment.However, in the future you may wish to confirmthe setting is still accurate. A wide blade isrecommended for the procedure.2. Disconnect band saw from power source.3. Blade should be fully tensioned (see section8.10).4. Place a long straightedge flush against blade,making sure it contacts both front and back ofblade. (Do not deflect blade by pushing into it.)See Figure 10.Figure 105. Use a gauge to carefully measure distancefrom miter slot to straight edge. Takemeasurements at both front and back of table– these should be identical.6. If miter slot is not parallel to blade, loosen fourscrews (D, Figure 11) that secure table totrunnion, and shift table as needed until miterslot is parallel to blade.7. Tighten the four screws.Figure 118.5 Setting fence parallel to bladeRefer to Figures 12 through 14.Fence must be parallel to flat of blade for accuratecutting. Since miter slot has been set parallel toblade from the manufacturer (and confirmed byuser, as described in section 8.4), the miter slotcan be used to set fence parallelism.1. Slide fence to edge of miter slot, as shown inFigure 12. The fence should align with miterslot along its entire length.
