for different cutting thicknesses and special shap-
ing applications. One turn of the knob moves the
split fence approximately
To adjust the fence:

desired position.

Safety Guard
Adjustment
The safety guard (see Figure 40) protects the
user from exposure to the cutter and chips thrown
by it. To minimize the risk of injury, the guard must
be adjusted so it encloses as much of the spindle
area as possible, while still allowing the workpiece
to pass through the cut. Typically, this means the
guard is positioned to just clear the top of the
workpiece.
To position the safety guard, loosen the knob
bolts (see Figure 40) and raise or lower the guard
as needed. Tighten the knob bolts to secure the
setting.
