FENCE OPERATION

The fence can be moved across the table and can tilt
45 degrees right or left at any position on the table as
follows:

OF ILLUSTRATIONS ONLY.
1. To move the fence across the table, loosen lock handle
(A) Fig. 50, and turn knob (B) until desired fence location
is reached. Then tighten lock handle (A). As the fence is
moved across the table, the rear cutterhead guard (C)
covers and guards the cutterhead in back of the fence.
NOTE: Lock handle (A) is spring-loaded and can be
repositioned by pulling up on the handle and
repositioning it on the serrated nut located underneath
the hub of the handle.
2. To tilt the fence in or out, loosen lock handle (D) Fig.
50. While holding fence tilting handle (E) Fig. 51, rotate
90° flip stop (G) and tilt the fence to the desired angle, in
or out, and tighten lock handle (D) Fig. 50. IMPORTANT:
When cutting bevels and the angle is small, there is little
difference whether the fence is tilted in or out; however,
at angles approaching 45 degrees it may become
difficult to hold the work securely against the fence
when the fence is tilted out. In these cases we suggest
that the fence be tilted toward the table, as shown in Fig.
52. The fence will form a V-shape with the tables and the
work is easily pressed into the pocket while passing
across the knives.
ADJUSTING FENCE
POSITIVE STOPS

The fence has been equipped with positive stops that
allow you to rapidly tilt the fence to 90 degree and 45
degree angles, inward and outward, to the table. To check
and adjust the positive stops, proceed as follows:

POWER SOURCE.
1. Position the fence at 90 degrees to the table. Make
certain flip stop (F) Fig. 53, is lowered as shown, and
adjustment screw (H) is contacting the flip stop (F); then
tighten locking handle (D).
2. Place a square (K) Fig. 53, on the table and against
the fence as shown to check if the fence is 90 degrees to
the table.
3. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen locking handle
(D) Fig. 53, and locknut (L). Rotate adjustment screw (F)
until you are certain the fence is 90 degrees to the table.
Tighten locknut (L).
