OPERATIONS
To operate this, or any tool, safely and efficiently, it is essential to become as familiar with its characteristics as possible. Take as much time as necessary to become acquainted with the SHOP FOX® Classic Fence. The time you invest before you begin to use it will be time well spent.
Using a Wood Fence
Facing
The SHOP FOX® Classic Fence can be faced with 3⁄4" kiln dried hardwood, plywood or medium density fiber board (MDF) in place of the HDPE plastic fence sides. For certain operations such as dadoing or close sawing, it is necessary to have a fence material which can be cut into. If using kiln dried lumber, use a piece that is free of knots and other defects and preferably a species with dimensional stability such as maple, birch or beech.
It is extremely important to attach the wood facing correctly. Lumber less than 3⁄4" is not recommended. Screws or fasteners must be counter sunk at least 1⁄8" below the wood surface, but no more than 1⁄4".
Attaching the wood facing to the fence:
1.Size a suitable piece of wood for the face of the fence.
2.Drill and counterbore six 3⁄8" mounting holes in the wood face piece using the HDPE supplied fence facing as a drill guide.
3.Attach the wood facing to the fence, making sure the screws are counterbored 1⁄8" - 1⁄4" below the wood surface. Do not over tighten.
