Fence Movement

To slide the fence forward or backward on the table, loosen lock handle (A, Figure 24), slide the fence to desired position and tighten lock handle to secure fence. Lift up on fence when tilting or sliding, to prevent scratching the table.

NOTE: The handle (A, Figure 24) may be adjusted to a more convenient position by loosening the hex nuts below the casting (see B, Figure 31), turning the handle to the proper position, and retightening the hex nuts.

To tilt the fence forward:

1.Loosen locking handle (B, Figure 24).

2.Place an angle measuring device on the table and against the fence. Tilt the fence to desired angle and tighten locking handle (B, Figure 24) to secure the angle.

To tilt the fence back:

1.Loosen locking handle (B, Figure 24).

2.Flip the stop block (C, Figure 24) out of the way.

3.Tilt the fence to desired angle and tighten locking handle (B, Figure 24) to secure angle.

When the tilted operation is finished and the fence is returned to 90 degrees, do not forget to flip the stop block back to its original position.

Fence Stops

Periodically check the 90 degree and 45 degree tilt accuracy of the fence with an adjustable square or machinist's protractor. If adjustments are necessary, proceed as follows:

90 degree stop:

1.The 90 degree stop is controlled by the screw (D, Figure 25).

2.Loosen the locking handle (B, Figure 25) and the hex nut on the screw (D, Figure 25).

3.Set the square on the table and against the fence, and move the fence to fit flush against the 90 degree angle. Rotate the screw (D, Figure 25) until it contacts the stop block (C, Figure 25).

4.Tighten the hex nut (D, Figure 25) and the locking handle (B, Figure 25).
