The manual details the "Euro" method: using a 1000mm precision square. It explains how to loosen the TORX bolts under the fence extrusion and adjust the cam followers. A misaligned fence by 0.1mm over 1 meter means your cabinets won't align. altendorf f90 manual
Q: Is the Altendorf F90 manual the same as the F91 manual? A: No. The F91 introduced a revised scoring lift mechanism. Using the F91 manual for an F90 will result in wrong parts ordering (particularly bearings #45 in the arbor block). The Ultimate Guide to the Altendorf F90 Manual:
Q: My manual is in German. Where is the English section? A: Altendorf manuals are multi-lingual. The German section (Section 1) is followed by English (Section 2), French, etc. Do not throw away the German section; the diagrams are numbered the same, but the German part numbers are often the original ordering references.

Q: Can I run the F90 without a digital manual if I lose my paper copy? A: Technically yes, but legally and safely, no. Insurance adjusters will request the maintenance log if there is an accident. Without adherence to the manual’s torque specs and safety distances, you could be found negligent.
Q: Where do I find updates or amendments? A: Altendorf issued "Service Bulletins" for the F90 regarding the vibration dampening feet. These are not in the original manual. You must contact Altendorf directly with your serial number to see if any manual addenda exist for your specific build date.
