To calibrate the crosscut fence scale(s) you will need a workpiece (say, 12” long) and
an additional measuring instrument, such
as a tape measure. Using the crosscut
stop, make a cut through the workpiece; it will be helpful to set the crosscut stop at
an integer position such as 11” or 12”. After the cut is made, compare the width of the
work piece with the readout on the fence scale. The scale can be adjusted by
loosening the allen screw that secures the scale and shifting the scale by the
required amount (shown in figure SS07.1). Tip: Leave the crosscut stop locked in
place and move the scale until the correct reading is shown by the stop.
N.B.Check that the fence cuts square sides before starting! See SS05 and SS06: 90°
adjustments of the crosscut fence.

If the telescopic extension is in use, check that the scale reads accurately here too.
You will need a workpiece long enough to use the telescopic extension with. Make a
cut using the stop and compare the actual cut width with the readout from the scale.
