N. Assembly of Back Fence
1. Identify the components required, see opposite.
2. Slide Workpiece Support through rectangular
opening in the aperture provided in the Back
Fence.
The V-guide on the Back Fence should engage in
the V-guide on the under side of Workpiece
Support, see fig. N and page 21 for use.
3. Insert the Workpiece Support Adjustment Bolt
through the hole in the underside of the Back
Fence and through the slot in the Workpiece
Support.
4. While holding the head of the bolt in the hex recess
on the underside of Back Fence, place the flat
washer over the bolt and screw on the Medium
Size Knob.
When knob is loosened, the Workpiece Support should
slide back & forth in the aperture for take-up adjustment.
P. Attachment of Back Fence to Table
The Back Fence is provided as a guide against which
the workpiece should be held for accurate routing.
Freehand routing (not holding work against the fence)
should be avoided unless the cutter has a bearing guide
or pin. Then, the Lead-on Pin should be fitted to prevent
the cutter from snatching the workpiece.
When attaching the Back fence to the Table Surface,
care should be taken not to knock the protruding cutter, if
it has already been fitted.
Two round holes on the right side of the Table Surface
and one long slot on the left hand side of the Table
Surface are provided for attaching the Back Fence.
For all edge cutting and end cutting operations, attach
fence using the front hole and the slot. This will allow
adequate adjustment of the Back Fence to suit the cutter
diameter and depth of cut. See fig. P.2.
For all routing operations away from edge on the under
side of workpiece, such as grooving, fluting, veining,
attach the Back Fence using the back hole and the slot.
See fig. P.3.
Dust extraction should be used with the Back Fence at
all times to prevent clogging of wood waste, see page 18.
1. Position Back Fence assembly to Table Surface
as shown in fig. P.1.
2. Depending upon the type of routing operation,
insert one of the Back Fence Fixing Bolts through
one of the holes on the right side of the Table
Surface (from the underside) and the short slot in
the Back Fence. Make sure square shoulder of the
bolt fits into the square recess in the underside of
the Table Surface.
3. While holding the bolt in place, fit the flat washer
and large knob onto the bolt to secure loosely the
Back Fence to the Table Surface.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for table slot and fence slot
on the left hand side of the Table Surface.
