6.Loosen the fence tilting handle, bring the fence to 90º with the machinist's square set against the fence, then tighten the handle.
Note: Keep the limit plate tab in the rear slot of the limit block.
7.Loosen the jam nut (located at the rear of the limit block shaft).
8.Using a screwdriver, turn the limit block set screw until the limit block shaft hits the fence.
9.Tighten the jam nut. The 90º stop is now set precisely.
To set the inward 45º stop:
1.DISCONNECT THE JOINTER FROM THE POWER SOURCE!
2.With the fence positioned over the bed and the sliding handle locked, loosen the fence tilting handle.
3.Tip the fence towards the table as far as it will go, then tighten the fence tilting handle.
Note: When you tip the fence towards the table, it will stop when it hits the inward stop bolt.
4.Use a machinist's combination square to check the angle of the fence as shown in Figure 25.
Figure 25. Checking the inward 45º stop.
—If the fence leans 45º towards the table, the inward 45º stop is set correctly; move ahead to set the outward 45º stop.
—If the fence does not lean 45º towards the table, adjust the inward 45º stop by doing Steps 5-9.
5.Loosen the fence tilting handle, bring the fence to 90º, then tighten the handle just enough to keep the fence in position.
6.Remove the limit block from the fence bracket assembly and set it aside.
7.Using two 8mm wrenches, adjust the inward stop bolt (see Figure 26) until it hits the fence at precisely 45º inward, then tighten the jam nut (where the bolt meets the bracket assem- bly) while holding the stop bolt in place. Some trial-and-error will be required to set this stop correctly.
