Fence.Positioning
Fence.Parallelism
For safe and accurate shaping, the fence boards must be
parallel with one another so that they properly support
the workpiece through the entire cutting operation.
Tools.Needed.
Qty
Precision Straightedge 36" .....................................1
Shims .................................................. As Needed
To.make.fence.faces.parallel,.do.these.steps:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Place a straightedge across both fence boards, as
shown in
Figure
27, and use fence offset knob to
adjust fences so they are perfectly aligned with each
other.
— If there are any gaps between either fence face and
straightedge, shim fences until they are parallel.
Figure.27..
Using a straightedge to check/
align fence boards.
Each side of the fence is independently adjustable to
allow for different shaping tasks. The fence faces can be
offset to remove the entire edge of a workpiece, or they
can be aligned to shape part of the workpiece edge.
Additionally, the fence sides can be moved toward and
away from the cutter to minimize the gap between the
cutter and the fence. Keeping this gap as small as possible
will help minimize the risk of injury during shaping
operations.
To.adjust.fence.positioning,.do.these.steps:
1.
Loosen both carriage lock knobs and move fence
carriage forward or backward as needed in relation
to cutter (see
Figure.25
), then tighten lock knobs.
2.
Loosen fence lock knob shown in
Figure.25
. Adjust
each fence forward or backward by turning fence
offset knob. Once fence is set in desired front-to-
back position, tighten fence lock knobs.
3.
To move fence sides laterally, unscrew bolts in fence
channel and shift fence left or right (see
Figure.26
).
Ensure proper cutter clearance, then retighten bolts.
