Fence 

! WARNING 

Never  make  any  adjustments  with  the 
machine running! 

Installation of the Fence 

The  fence,  although  completely  assembled, 
requires  bolting  to  the  machine  as  well  as 
alignment. 

1.  Mount the fence (Figure 5) to the machine 

base (Figure 4) lining up the holes (A) with 
the  matching  holes  of  the  fence  bracket, 
using the allen bolts provided. 

Fence Legend 

The  various  adjustments,  locks  and  handles 
are shown in Figure 5. 

A.  90 degree adjust bolt. 

B.  Angle lock handle. 

C.  90 degree flip stop. 

D.  Width adjustment handle. 

E.  45 degree adjust bolt. 

F.  Width lock handle. 

G.  Fence angle adjust handle. 

Adjustment of the 90 Degree Stop 

1.  Lay a square on the infeed table as shown 

in Figure 6. 

2.  Loosen the angle lock handle (B, figure 5). 

3.  Ensure  the  90  degree  flip  stop  (C,  Figure 

5) is in the 90 degree position. 

4.  Loosen  the  jam  nut  on  the  90  degree 

adjusting  bolt  (A,  figure  5)  and  adjust  the 
bolt  against  the  flip  stop  until  the  fence 
becomes true with the square. 

5.  Tighten  the  jam  nut  while  holding  the  bolt 

in position. 

Fence Operation 

To  tilt  the  fence,  see  Figure  5.    Loosen  angle 
lock handle ‘B’, flip up the stop ‘C’, and tilt the 
fenc

e with the fence angle adjusting handle ‘G’ 

to  the  desired  angle.    Use  a  protractor  or 
adjustable  triangle  to  set  the  angle.    A  45 
degree stop, ‘E’ is provided for quick set-up at 
this angle. 

To  adjust  the  cutting  width  loosen  the  lock 
handle  ‘F’  and  turn  the  width  adjustment 
handle  ‘D’  to  move  the  fence  toward  or  away 
from the rabbeting ledge. 

Once  any  adjustments  are  made  be  sure  to 
lock them into place.
