If, after securing the rear fence to the sled (as outlined below), you encounter any resistance sliding the sled:

GO TO TIP #6 FOR HELP!

You are now ready for the final assembly.Next, you have two choices. You can either:(1) Clamp the fence to the sled at the reference line and shoot a small nail through the underside of the sled (on the end of the fence opposite the screwed end). Next, with the fence now secured to the sled, remove the clamp and make ato check if square.Repeat this procedure until you obtain a satisfactory result. Now, with the fence square to the blade, reclamp and drill holes in the fence using the pre-drilled holes in the sled base as a guide. Finally, screw down the fence with 2" long wood screws.or, as I did...(2) If you have confidence in the accuracy of the reference line, clamp down the fence, drill a hole for a set screw on the end of the sled and screw down the fence. Make a test cut and check. If you like the results, reclamp the fence to the sled and finish drilling the mounting holes in the fence. Complete the assembly by securing the fence with 2" long wood screws.**********************************************************************************************************************************************A test cut is a foolproof way to see if the sled is set up correctly. Simply rip a good size piece of scrap (making sure it has straight, parallel edges). Press the workpiece against the fence and cut into two pieces. Slide the cut edges together to see if they fit together without any noticeable gaps. If all looks good, take one piece and flip it over (front to back) and check the fit again. Any error in the cut not visible on your first inspection will now be doubled and be much more obvious. As shown in the photos, if the edges butt together firmly with no gaps then the fence and blade are aligned correctly.**********************************************************************************************************************************************If the gap in the test piece is at the rear fence, move the fence back. If at the front fence move the fence forward.
