feed table.
b. Measure from the surface of the infeed table to the bottom of the

reduce the DANGER of kickback and possible injury, the depth of cut
should not exceed 1/16" when cutting wood wider than 1-112".

FENCE ADJUSTMENT
The fence can be adjusted to cut angles from 0 ° to 45 °. Stop pins
allow automatic setting to 0 °, 221/2 °, 30 ° or 45 ° in either the inboard
or outboard direction.
TO ADJUST: Loosen fence lock knobs and lift the stop pins out and
turn to lock out. Move the fence to the desired angle. If it is one of the
commonly used angles listed above, release the stop pins and they
will pop into place when the correct angle is reached. Tighten the
fence lock knobs to lock the fence in place. For a less common angle
or to fine tune to an angle less than the 5 ° divisions on the fence seg-
ment. Pul! and lock out the stop pins and use theo ° to 5 ° scale on the
tilt indicator to set the exact angle desired.
1. FOR OUTBOARD TILT add the reading on the tilt indicator to the
reading on the fence segment.
2. FOR INBOARD TILT subtract the tilt indicator reading from the
reading on the fence segment. Always tighten the lock knobs to
maintain the desired setting.
