ADJUSTING THE FENCE

Each fence may be adjusted individually for front-to-back position and for side-to-side position. Front-to-back position of the right (in-feed) fence will control the amount of material that is removed in each pass. Front-to-back position of the left (out-of-feed) fence is set to support the workpiece as it leaves the cutter. Side-to-side position should be adjusted so that each fence is just clear of the bit path (this will provide maximum support for the workpiece). Adjust as follows:
