2. For tilting the table to left (max. -6º), the table has a reference stop bolt that is used to
quickly align the table after tilting. The stop bolt hits the tilt-blanking disc when it is
positioned over the table tilt hole. When the tilt blanking disc is moved away from the hole,
it allows the tilt stop bolt to pass through the table tilt hole, and the table can be moved to
the maximum amount of tilt (-6 degrees).

Fence Assembly Adjustment:
-
The following steps are to properly adjust the Fence Assembly Adjustment on the VDL-18

between the table and the fence. The fence should not rub against the table surface but be
slightly above it. This gap should be the same at the front of the table as it is at the rear.
1. Loosen the fence locking wheel located on the fence assembly.
2. The fence is now free to move vertically along the worktable.
3. Once in the desired spot, lock the fence in place by tightening the locking screw.
