OPERATING CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS
6” JOINTER
FENCE OPERATION
The fence can be moved across the table and can tilt 45
0
right or left at any
position on the table a follows:
1. To move the fence across the table, loosen lock handle (A) Fig. 39, slide
fence to the desired position on the table and tighten lock handle (A).
As the fence is moved across the table, the rear cutterhead guard (B)
covers and guards the cutterhead in back of the fence.
NOTE:
Lock
handle (A) is spring-loaded and can be repositioned by pulling up on
the handle and repositioning it on the serrated nut located underneath
the hub of the handle.
2. To tilt the fence to the right or left loosen lock handle (C) Fig. 40, and
pull out and turn plunger (D) to release the positive stop. A tilting
lever (E) is provided on the back of the fence to assist in tilting the
fence.
NOTE:
Lock handle (C) is spring loaded and can be
repositioned by pulling out the handle and repositioning it on the
serrated nut located underneath the hub of the handle.
3. Tilt the fence to the desired angle, in or out, and tighten lock handle
(C) Fig. 40.
IMPORTANT:
When cutting bevels and the angle is small
there is little difference whether the fence is tilted in or out; however,
at angle is approaching 45
0
it may become difficult to hold the work
securely against the fence when the fence is tilted out. In these cases,
we suggest that the fence be tilted toward the table, as shown in Fig.
40. The fence will form a V-shape with the tables and the work is
easily pressed into the pocket while passing through the knives.
ADJUSTING FENCE POSITIVE STOPS
The fence on this jointer is equipped with positive stops that allow you
to rapidly tilt the fence to the 90
0
and 45
0
angles to the table in the inward
or outward position. To check and adjust the positive stops, proceed as
follows:
1. Position the fence at 90
0
to the table. Make sure the end of plunger (A)
Fig. 41, is engaged in notch (B) in index collar as shown, and tighten
lock handle (C).
2. Place a square (D) Fig. 42, on the table and against the fence and check
if fence is 90
0
to table.
3. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen set screw (E) Fig. 41, in the index
collar and loosen fence locking handle (C).
4. Tilt the fence until you are certain the fence is 90
0
to the table and
tighten lock handle (C) Fig. 41, and set screw (E).
5. Loosen lock handle (C) Fig. 43, pull out and turn plunger (A) and tilt
fence out as far as it will go. Then tighten lock handle (C).
6. Using square (D) Fig. 43, check to see if the fence is at a 45
0
outward
angle from the table, as shown.
7. If an adjustment is necessary, loosen lock handle (C) Fig. 43. Loosen
lock nut (F) and turn adjusting screw (G) until fence is tilted 45
0
outward. Then tighten lock nut (F).
