Adjusting the fence for trimming

1. When trimming timber the material coming out on the

left hand side (outfeed) (4) of the cutter will be
thinner than the material being fed through on the
right hand side (infeed) (3).

2. The left hand guide block will need to be adjusted to

compensate for the thinner material. This will help
support the material and ensure a more accurate cut.

3. To move the guide block

forwards or backwards,
loosen the 2 guide block
locking knobs (6).

4. Move the guide block

forward until it is the same
distance forward as the
amount of material being
trimmed. For example if
you are trimming 2mm
from your workpiece the left hand side guide block
should extend 2mm further out than the right hand
side guide block.

5. Insert a packer between the guide block and the rear

fence to help support it in place.

6. Tighten the 2 guide block locking knobs (6).

Installing and adjusting the feather boards

1. The feather boards (20)

are designed to hold the
workpiece in place and
prevent kickback.

2. To fit the top feather

board, insert the 2 screws
through the back of the
fence and then feed them
through the slots in the
feather board.

3. Place a washer on the end of each screw followed by

the locking knobs (21).

4. To fit the lower feather board feed a screw through the

bottom of each side of the feather board.

5. Place a washer onto both screws followed by the

feather board locking knobs (21).

6. Lightly tighten the feather board locking knobs.
7. Position the feather boards over the worktable and

insert the 2 screws through the 2 slots in the
worktable.

8. Slightly pull the feather boards to the left and then

tighten the locking knobs to hold the feather boards in
place.
