ADJUSTMENTS

Adjusting the EZ DB Fence

The EZ DB Fence can be adjusted so that the screw exit point
changes. This can be helpful when working with material thinner or
thicker than 3/4". The Pneumatic FOREMAN leaves the factory preset
for 3/4" material. This setting can be changed by moving the Fence
and Clamping Tower along the slots stamped in the Tool Plate. Be
certain to re-adjust the Drill Bit Depth Stop as outlined in the
"ADJUSTMENTS" – Adjusting the Drill Bit Depth Stop section of
this manual. Before adjusting the EZ DB Fence make certain your
machine is DISCONNECTED from the AIR SUPPLY. Cycle the machine
via the Handle to remove air from the system. Without an air supply
you can be certain the machine will not accidentally engage while you
are performing this adjustment.
1. Disconnect the machine from the air supply.
2. Loosen each Socket-head Cap Screw on the left and right side of
the Fence using the 1/4" Allen Wrench.
3. Align the Fence perpendicular to the Top Plate for the setting
that corresponds to the material thickness. These settings are
outlined below.
4. Tighten the (2) Socket-head Cap Screws to lock the Fence into
position.
3/4" Setting
This is the standard setting of the Fence to center a screw in 3/4"
material. The Fence is located 5" from the front of the Tool Plate as
shown in the figure below. If necessary adjust the Drill Bit Depth Stop
as outlined in the "ADJUSTMENTS" – Adjusting the Drill Bit Depth Stop
section of this manual.
1/2" Setting
Place a 3/8" x 3/8" shim made from scrap material along the length
of the Fence as shown in the figure below. Use double-stick tape to
hold the shim securely in position. Adjust the Drill Bit Depth Stop as
outlined in the "ADJUSTMENTS" – Adjusting the Drill Bit Depth Stop
section of this manual.
1-1/2" Setting
Loosen the (2) Socket-head Cap Screw on the left and right side of
the Fence. Slide the Fence backwards until it stops at the back of
the slots in the Top Plate. Re-tighten the (2) Socket-head Cap Screws.
Adjust the Drill Bit Depth Stop as outlined in the "ADJUSTMENTS" –
