Chisel Parallel to Workpiece

Referring to Figure 12:
The chisel can be adjusted parallel to the
workpiece as follows:
1. Loosen the two clamps (A) that secure the
fence (B).
2. With the adjust knob (C), move the fence back
far enough to insert the workpiece (D) between
the chisel (F) and fence (B). Raise the
workpiece hold-down clamp (E) if necessary.
3. With the operating handle (G) bring the head
down until the chisel points are almost at the
table level.
4. Bring the fence (B) forward with the adjust
knob (C) until the
workpiece (D) rests against the back surface of
the chisel (F), but do not force.
5. Loosen the chisel lock handle (H). This will
allow the chisel to rotate.
Further adjust the chisel by hand if needed.
6. Tighten the lock handle (H) while making sure
the bushing maintains contact with the head
casting to preserve the clearance setting..
