F. Clearance
Even though there are many ways to affix your workpiece to the Shop Fox®, there is one thing in com- mon with all of these arrangements. You must have the proper clearance between the Shop Fox®, the clamps and the cutting/sanding tool. It is imperative that all clamping methods be done correctly and inspected for proper clearance. Make a trial run with the power off and the plug pulled. It only takes a few seconds to do this and is well worth the effort.
WARNING: When adjusting the Shop Fox® or sta- tionary machine, always turn the machine off, make sure it has come to a complete stop and pull the plug from the outlet or interrupt power at the disconnect switch BEFORE performing such duties.

come close to contacting the cutting tool.
