W1761/W1762 12" Table Saw with Riving Knife

SERVICE

Adjusting Fence

The rip fence included with your Model W1761/W1762

Table Saw is designed to provide excellent ripping accu

racy when properly adjusted. There are four main adjust

ments to concern yourself with: square, height, paral

lelism, and clamping pressure. Keep in mind that these

adjustments are interconnected and some trial-and-error

may be needed to achieve satisfactory results.

Square and Height

Adjust the the nylon screws (Figure 74) on top of the

fence bracket with a 6mm hex wrench to set the fence

square with the blade and set the fence height above the

table.

Place a machinist’s square on the table against the side

of the fence. If the square does not remain flush against

both the fence and the table, adjust the nylon screws

until the fence and table are square.

If the bottom surface of the fence is more than

/16"

above the table at the front or back, adjust the fence

height using the nylon screws and the rear rail foot

(Figure 74).

Clamping Pressure and Parallelism

The fence clamping mechanism can be adjusted simulta-

neously to set the right amount of clamping pressure to

hold your fence securely, and ensure the fence is parallel

to the miter slot.

Remove the fence and, using a 4mm hex wrench, adjust

the set screws shown in Figure 75

equally on the rear

side of the front bracket. Place the fence alongside the

miter slot (Figure 76

) and check the fence to miter slot

parallelism and the clamping strength. Trial-and-error

will be needed to adjust the set screws so the fence is

parallel to the miter slot and the clamping pressure is

sufficient.

Optional: If you are cutting wet or green stock, offset

ting the rear of the fence

/64" from the blade using the

set screws in Figure 75 can help prevent the workpiece

from binding and burning.
