Fence Operation

The fence can be moved forward or backward
across the width of the table (B-Fig. 24). It also tilts
up to 45 degrees forward and backward with a
positive stop at 90 degrees.

To slide fence forward or backward:

When edge jointing, the fence assembly should
periodically be moved to different positions to
distribute wear on the cutterhead knives.

1. Loosen the locking handle (A-Fig. 24).
2. Push the entire fence assembly (B-Fig. 24) to
the desired position, and tighten the locking
handle.

To tilt fence forward:

The fence can be tilted forward to any angle down
to 45 degrees.

1. Loosen locking handle (B-Fig. 25).
2. Move the lever forward (A, Fig. 25) to the
desired angle down to 45 degrees. Or you can
place your reference piece on the table and
against the fence, and adjust the fence until
the angle of the fence matches the bevel of
your gauge piece.
3. Tighten locking handle (B-Fig. 25).

To tilt fence backward:
1. The fence can be tilted backward up to 45°
(for a total angle of 135° from table surface).
2. Loosen locking handle (B-Fig. 25).
3. Flip the 90° stop block (D-Fig. 25) out of the
way.
4. Move the lever back (B-Fig. 25) to the desired
angle up to 135 degrees. Or you can place
your beveled reference piece on the table and
against the fence, adjusting the fence until the
angle of the fence matches the bevel of your
gauge piece.
5. Tighten locking handle (B-Fig 25).

Important: When the tilted operation is finished and
the fence is returned to 90°, do not forget to flip the
90° stop block (A-Fig. 26) back to its original
position.
