Rich,

The two screws on the casting are to be used to set the rip fence square with the cast iron top, not to set it parallel to the blade. There should be a toe out of 0.002 to 0.004” set away from the blade measured along the length of the blade. If you checked that the fence is straight when unclamped and it bows when you clamp it, most likely you are clamping too hard. You only need a slight twist of the handle and the fence is locked in position.?

Since in the low position the fence moves away from the blade 0.03mm than your toe out is set correctly and there is nothing to adjust, just use light touch when clamping the fence in the vertical position.?

To adjust for proper toe out you change the position of the round bar that the rip fence rides on. You have 3 point of attachment. To adjust the toe out you loosen completely the nuts that secure the round bar to the extension table (far right), make sure to loosen them on both sides of the extension. Once that is done the only bolt you have to mess with is the middle bolt (don’t do anything to the one closest to the slider). By loosening the nut on the inside of the cast iron top and tightening the one on the opposite side you increase the toe out and vice versa, by loosening the nut closer to the bar and tightening the one on the other end, you make the toe out smaller. One you have it set you tighten both nuts evenly, so you do not change the toe out, measure it again once the nuts are wrench tight and if everything is fine hand tighten the remaining two nuts (that secure the bar to the extension table). Tighten these nuts evenly on both sides by hand and once they no longer move tighten them evenly on both sides with the wrench. Make sure you do it evenly otherwise you will bend the bar.?
