Setting the 45° Backward Stop

1.The 45° backward stop is controlled by the screw (G, Figure 18), which will contact the back of the fence when the fence is tilted backward.

2.Flip the stop block (E, Figure 18) out of the way.

3.Loosen the locking handle (B, Figure 18) and loosen the hex nut on the screw (G, Figure 18).

4.Tilt the fence backward. Set your angle

measuring device at 135° and place it on	Figure 18
the table and against the fence.

5.If necessary, turn the screw (G, Figure 18), until the fence lies flush against the angle measuring device.

6.Re-tighten the hex nut on the screw (G, Figure 18) and tighten locking handle (B, Figure 18).

Fence Removal

To remove the fence assembly from the machine, remove the two hex nuts and one flat washer that secure it to the slide bracket (see Figure 15). Lift the fence straight up and off the Jointer.

When re-installing the fence assembly, make sure the cutout in the fence assembly sits over the key in the slide bracket.

Locking Handles

All locking handles of the type shown in B, Figure 18, can be rotated if they are in the way of other machine parts. Simply lift straight out on the locking handle and rotate it, then release, making sure it seats properly.

Table and Knife Adjustments
