1.To replace the fixed chaser, remove the three M6 socket head cap screws and flat washers, using a 5mm hex wrench as shown in Figure 17. Remove the fixed chaser.

2.Install the new fixed chaser and make sure it is level with the main table.

3.Re-insert and tighten the socket head cap screws against the flat washers.

After mounting the fixed chaser, make sure it will correspond to your chosen pitch on the template bar. With the machine power off, slide the headstock across the length of the fixed chaser, allowing the cutter to move in and out of the spaces. If there is any interference between the cutter and one of the “fingers” on the fixed chaser, then try a different fixed chaser, or change the pitch of the template bar.

Horizontal and Vertical Fences

The workpieces will lie flush against the fences during cutting to ensure squareness. Two buffer pads made of polyethylene material are mounted to the fences – these provide a “chipbreaker” effect to prevent chip-out on the left edges of the workpieces. They are designed so the cutter can bite into them without any damage to the cutter.

To adjust these fences, proceed as follows:

1.Place your FRONT/BACK workpiece on the horizontal table and against the fence/buffer pad. Move the headstock to the left edge of the workpiece, then slide it to the right, allowing the tracer pin to slide just a little into the template recesses, while observing through the dust hood window the progress of the cutter. This will give you an idea where the cuts will be made and how they will be spaced across the width of the workpiece.

2.For broad movement of the horizontal fence, loosen both locking handles on the horizontal fence (A and B, Figure 19) and slide the horizontal fence into position. Tighten both locking handles (A & B, Figure 19).

3.There is also a micro adjustment on the horizontal fence; loosen locking handle (A, Figure 19), but leave locking handle (B) tight. Loosen the screw (C, Figure 19) with a 6mm hex wrench and rotate the knurled knob (D, Figure 19) as needed for precise positioning of the horizontal fence.

4.When finished, tighten screw (C, Figure 19) and locking handle (A, Figure 19).
