OPERATION
14
MOVE THE FENCE
1. Before adjusting the fence’s angle, make sure that the unit is un-
plugged and the power switch is in the OFF position.
2. Loosen the fence sliding handle (Fig. 10 - 1).
3. Slide the fence to the desired position. The fence can be positioned
over the blade so that only the desired width of the blade is exposed.
Make sure the exposed width matches that of the workpiece.
4. Tighten the fence sliding handle so that the fence is secure.
ADJUST THE BLADE HEIGHT
The blades have been adjusted at the factory to assure proper opera-
tion and should require no adjustment. However, shipping and handling
may have caused slight misalignment. For accurate cutting, the cutting
edges of the blades should be flush with the outfeed table.
1. Make sure the switch is in the OFF position and that the cord is un-
plugged before checking the blades.
2. Block the blade guard (Fig. 11 - 1) from closing using a scrap piece
of 6-1/4-inch long wood (Fig. 11 - 2) between the fence and the guard.
3. Turn the cutterhead so that one of the blades is at its highest position.

CAUTION!
The cutterhead blades (Fig. 11 - 3) are extremely
sharp. To avoid injury, do not let your fingers contact the cutting
edge.
4. Place a straight-edge over the outfeed table and the blade. The
straight edge must touch evenly on the outfeed table at both ends of
the blade. See Fig. 12.
5. Rotate the cutterhead by hand. The blades should just touch the
straight-edge. If a blade is too low or too high at either end, adjust the
blade height. Using a hex wrench, loosen the blade locking screws and
adjust the gib screws to re-position the blade. Fully tighten the locking
screws once the adjustments have been made (Fig. 13).
