Gently push the sliding plate up against the inside edge of the
workpiece.
DO NOT push the sliding plate against the workpiece
with significant
force.
The sliding plate is used to guide the
workpiece
and is not intended
to lock the piece in position.
At this point it is critical that you assure that the workpiece
can
travel freely in and out of the machine
along its entire length without
binding or encountering
significant
drag.
Do this by moving the
workpiece
in and out of the machine
by hand, while laying flat on
the traction drive.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to load a workpiece
that has a
significant
taper to the sides.
A tapered workpiece
will bind
between
the sliding plate and the squaring
plate and will
damage the traction
drive.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to load a workpiece
that varies in
thickness
by more than 1/16" along its entire length.
Using a
workpiece
with a larger thickness
variation
than 1'16" can lead
to damage to the machine.
