Fence ! WARNING Never make any adjustments with the machine running! Installation of the Fence The fence, although completely assembled, requires bolting to the machine as well as alignment. 1. Mount the fence (Figure 5) to the machine base (Figure 4) lining up the holes (A), using the allen bolts provided.
Knives ! WARNING The knives are extremely sharp. Use caution when handling. Installation of the Knives 1. To expose the cutterhead, move the fence all the way back. 2. Back down both the infeed and outfeed tables to their lowest position. Be sure to loosen the lock on the outfeed table before doing so.
Adjusting the Outfeed Table 1. Once the knives are set it is now time to set the outfeed table. For proper operation the height of the outfeed table must be set to the highest point of the cutting circle. To do this, set a straight edge on the outfeed table as shown in Figure 10.
Jointing In order to craft a good woodworking project, it is necessary to have a square piece of wood to start with. The way to do this is with a jointer. You need one straight edge and one flat face. After you have these, you can plane to thickness and rip to width and the resulting piece will be square and true on all four sides.
Beveling For beveling (Figure 16), set the fence to the desired angle using a protractor and lock into place. Feed the material through pressing firmly against the fence and tables. Several passes may be necessary for the desired result. Rabbeting ! WARNING Rabbeting requires removal of the blade guard.
Maintenance V-Belts After the first 20 hours of operation it is necessary to check the tension on of the V- belts. To do this, open the access door (A, Figure 19). With medium finger pressure the belt should push in approximately ½” about midway between the pulleys.
