Note: when not in use, the spacer bars can be stored on
the t-track on the back of the fence body as shown.
Each spacer bar has two sides which allow you to
offset the outfeed fence by either 0.7 mm or 1.5 mm
staggering.
Note: both spacer bars should be used in the top and
bottom t-slots in the fence body as shown. Take care to
install them in matching offset positions; both at 0.7mm
or both at 1.5mm.
Jointing the edge of a board involves using a straight
