OPERATIONS
The following is an example of the setting up and operational procedures when using the fence, collars, and starting pin. Please review this information carefully before turning on the power to avoid damage to the machine or personal injury.
SHAPING WHEN USING THE FENCE AS A GUIDE
Using the fence is the safest and most satisfactory method of shaping, and this method should always be used when the work permits. Almost all straight work can be shaped using the fence as follows:
1.For average work, where a portion of the original edge of the work is not touched by the cutter, both the front and rear fences are in a straight line, as shown in Fig. 57.
2.When the shaping operation removes the entire edge of the work, e.g., in jointing or making a full bead, the shaped edge will not be supported by the rear fence when both fences are in line, as shown in Fig. 58. In this case, the work should be advanced to the position shown in Fig. 58, and stopped.
3.The rear fence should then be advanced to contact the work, as shown in Fig. 59. The rear fence will then be in line with the cutting circle.
