Wooden Fence
A flat and properly aligned fence creates a safer,
smoother cutting operation. A damaged or worn
fence should be replaced. If choosing to replace
or use wooden boards as fence faces, follow the
instructions below to ensure each is properly flat-
tened and aligned correctly.
To align wooden fences:
1.
Ensure bolts through wood fence facing on
each side are tight and adequately counter-
sunk.
2.
To align fence faces, follow Steps 1–5 of
Aligning Fence Faces on Page 50.
3.
If fences are not coplanar with each other,
remove both fences and resurface as one
unit. You can perform this operation on a
jointer as shown in Figure 73.
Model G0900 (Mfd. Since 03/20)
Make sure screws are countersunk deep
enough so workpiece will not come in
contact with heads of screws! Check screw
depth after each pass to ensure that screws
will not contact knives!
