Fence Adjustment
The fence is a two-piece adjusting system. Each
fence is independently adjustable to compensate
for different cutting thicknesses and special shap-
ing applications. Each fence moves toward the
front and back of the shaper and to the left and
right. To adjust the front-to-back controls of the
fence, see the control location in Figure 11 and
follow the instructions below:
1.
Loosen the fence lock handle.
2.
Turn the fence adjustment knob until the
fence is set to the desired position.
3.
Tighten the fence lock handle.
More detailed information concerning these fence
adjustments is covered in the "Straight Shaping"
instructions.
To change the fence spindle opening (move the
fence pieces left or right) use the lateral move-
ment lock handle shown in Figure 11 to move the
fence. Always be sure to adjust the fences so
there is as little clearance around the cutter as
possible. Narrow clearance around the cutter pro-
vides more support and not as much operator
exposure to the cutter.

Aligning The Fence
The following procedure ensures that the fence
pieces are properly aligned.
1.
Check that the fence pieces are tightly
secured to the fence housing.
2.
Adjust one or both fence halves so they are
in close alignment. Micro-adjust and check
the alignment with a straightedge as shown
in Figure 12.
3.
If the fences are not coplanar with each
other, correct the appropriate fence by plac-
ing shim stock or paper between the back of
the fence and the fence housing.
