Delta 37-071 Jointing Beveled Stock, Calibrating the 45/90 Stops, To Calibrate the 90 Stop

OPERATION

JOINTING BEVELED STOCK (continued)

INWARD 45° ANGLE:

See Figure 16.

1.Loosen the beveling lock (A) by rotating the handle counterclockwise.

2.Tip the fence toward the table as far as it will go. It will stop when the fence contacts the inward 45° stop bolts.

3.Retighten the beveling lock. Use a combination square or carpenters square to check the tilt angle. If it needs to be adjusted, refer to “Calibrating the 45°/90° Stops” on page 14.

When jointing with the fence tilted inward at 45° feed the stock carefully to ensure that the workpiece does not become trapped

between the fence and table, which can create a dangerous situation.

CALIBRATING THE 45°/90° STOPS

Disconnect the machine from the power source before making any

adjustments!

To ensure precise and accurate results, the 45° and 90° Stops must accurately position the fence in relation to the table surface.

TO CALIBRATE THE 90° STOP:

1.Loosen the beveling lock by rotating the handle counterclockwise.

2.Ensure the 45°/90° Stop is fully-engaged and locked in position.

3.Using a carpenter’s square, with one edge flat on the table and the other against the fence, check to see if the fence and table are in square. If any adjustment is needed, proceed to step #4.

4.Loosen the retaining nut located on the 90° Stop rod.

5.Use a flat head screwdriver to adjust the position of the Stop rod. Refer to Figure 17. Turning the rod clockwise reduces the fence angle while rotating it counterclockwise increases the fence angle.

6.Re-tighten the retaining nut and re-lock the beveling lock. Then re-check the angle using the carpenter’s square. Continue to adjust as needed.
