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 off-
set the outfeed fence by either 0.7 mm or 1.5 mm stag-
gering.
Jointing the edge of a board involves using a straight
cutting router bit to remove material from the edge
face of a board. The result is a perfectly flat and square
edge.
USING THE SPACER BARS FOR JOINTING
A
Two spacer bars

are supplied with the fence system
to facilitate jointing, by offsetting the outfeed fence

to the infeed fence and providing a straight path for
the workpiece to follow as it is machined, fully support-
ed at its start and end.

JOINTING
1.
Loosen but do not remove the outfeed fence face and install the spacer bars between the outfeed fence and
the fence body.
2.
With the router unplugged and the safety switch in the off position, follow the instructions supplied with your router
and install a straight cutting bit in the router.
3.
Adjust the height of the lift to raise or lower the bit as need until the bit is slightly higher than the workpiece.
4.
Loosen the fence locking knobs, and using a straightedge, position the outfeed fence aligned flush with the bit.
A.
Rotate the bit by hand to validate alignment with the “highest” point of the cutting edge on the bit, then tight-
en the knobs to lock the fence in position.
5.
Adjust the height of the safety shield to make sure it clears the bit and the workpiece slightly.
6.
If needed, loosen the lock knobs on the back of the fence and adjust the faces to adjust the gap between the
fence faces and the bit leaving a clearance of roughly 1/4” between the bit and each fence face,
B
.
7.
Plug in and turn on the router and make a test cut on a waste sample before jointing your “good” workpieces.
Note: both spacer bars should be used in the top and bot-
tom 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.
