These are mounted in the same manner as the standard rails. The long rail set also includes legs which provide added stability for the table saw/fence assembly when large or heavy work is positioned on the table. Mounting the extension legs 1. Attach rails according to the rail installation instructions on page 6 & 7. 2. Thread a 1.2" hex nut onto each foot and thread a foot into the bottom of each leg. 3. Loosely bolt a brace to each of the legs with a 3.8-16 x 3.4" hex bolt and three 3.8" washers. Place two of the washers between the leg and the brace. 4. Position the legs as shown in Figure 6 and insert two 1.4-20 x 1.2" hex bolts with washers through each rail and loosely thread them into the legs. 5. Rotate the braces up and thread a 3.8-16 x 5.8" hex bolt with a washer through each rail and into the braces. 6. Place a level on the rails and adjust the feet until the rails are level, then tighten the hex nuts on the feet against the bottom of the legs. 7. Tighten all of the bolts. -8- Shop Fox® Classic Fence Extension Table An extension table should be mounted between the fence extension rails to provide workpiece support. The extension table width should be sized to fit in the gap between the rails. The length of the table extension can be set so the table replaces the existing right wing of the saw (if your saw is so equipped) or can be used in conjunction with the existing wing. Constructing the extension table 1. Construct the extension table as shown in Figure 6 using a frame with a separate top or a solid table can be made from countertop materials with a 3.4" to 1" thick particle board surfaced with a Melamine® or Formica® type of material. Figure 6. Extension table. 2. When installing the extension table, be sure it is flush with the table saw top by placing a long straightedge across both tables and adjusting the extension until it is even along the length of the straightedge. Figure 7 shows a typical installation. Figure 7. Extension rails and table assembly. Shop Fox® Classic Fence -9 Blade Guard The SHOP FOX ® Classic Fence is intended to work with all table saw blade guards. After installing the rear rail you will be able to reinstall the guard assembly without interference with the rail. A typical installation is shown below in Figure 8. If you have any questions or concerns about the blade guard on your saw working in conjunction with the new fence, please see your dealer or contact Woodstock’s Technical Support. DO NOT operate the saw without a blade guard installed. Operating without a guard creates a risk of injury from kickback or flying debris. If you encounter any difficulty with reinstalling the blade guard with the new fence system, contact Woodstock’s Technical Support. Magnetic Switch At the left hand edge of the front rail there are pre-drilled holes which can be used to mount the table saw ON/OFF switch to the rail. This relocation of the magnetic switch makes it easy to turn the saw on and off without reaching underneath the table. Consult the instruction manual for your saw table to determine whether it is possible to locate your switch on the rail. Mount the switch to the rail using the 1.4-20 X 3.4" flat head screws, 1.4-20 hex nuts, and 1.4" flat washers. Always make certain the saw is disconnected from the power supply before opening the switch box. Figure 8. Rail and guard bracket installation. -10-Shop Fox® Classic Fence ADJUSTMENTS Your SHOP FOX® Classic Fence requires little adjustment since most of the features are built- in to the fence at the factory. The primary adjustment is to adjust the fence so it is parallel to the saw blade. UNPLUG the saw power cord, and TURN OFF the power switch before you begin fence adjustment procedures. Accidental saw startup while adjusting the fence will result in serious personal injury. Fence Parallelism If your table saw has been properly adjusted, the saw blade should be parallel to the miter slot. Refer to your table saw manual for the proper procedure to check and adjust the saw blade to the miter slot correctly. 1. Locate the two setscrews on the lower edge of the fence bracket. See Figure 9. Setscrews Figure 9. Setscrews on bracket. 2. Turn the setscrews to align the edge of the fence to the edge of the miter slot while alternately locking and unlocking the fence lock lever. 3. Check to see if the fence is parallel along the length of the miter slot, carefully slide the tip of your finger along the edge of the miter slot and the fence to detect a variation in spacing. 4. Readjust the setscrews as required. If the wood is binding when fed through the table saw and the cut edge is burned, the fence may need to be adjusted out slightly. Use the setscrews to adjust the back end of the fence approximately 1.64" away from the miter slot. Figure 10 shows the fence adjusted for use on the right side of the blade. Figure 10. Lead adjustment. 1.64" Shown exaggerated for illustration purposes DO NOT cut on the left side of the blade i...
