How to Adjust the Fence on a Bosch 4000

The Bosch 4000 is a convenient, portable table saw. With an adjustable fence, the Bosch 4000 makes it easy to rip boards for home improvement or remodeling projects. To make safe, accurate cuts, the fence must remain perfectly parallel to the cutting blade. If the fence is out of alignment, adjusting it is easy and doesn't require any special tools.
