Installing Fence to Bed

Referring to Figure 5:

1.Before moving the fence assembly, secure the tilt lock handle (K).

Secure the tilt lock handle to avoid personal injury from moving parts.

2.Place the key (F) into the machined slot of the fence support (G) as shown. The spring pin (E) should go into the hole in the slot. The key (F) should be firmly seated in the slot.

3.Lightly coat the mating surfaces of the fence support (G) and fence slide base (B) with oil.

4.Place the fence slide base (B) on the fence support (G), aligning the machined slot (D) in the fence slide base with the key (F).

5.Attach the flat washer (H) and two hex nuts (J) on to the locking screw (A) but do not tighten.

6.Orient the lock handle (C) in the position as shown; then tighten the hex nuts (J) with a 19mm wrench.

This is the locked position for the fence assembly. Rotating the lock handle (C) clockwise loosens the fence assembly, permitting you to slide the assembly back and forth. The hex nuts may need to be readjusted to allow the fence to slide back and forth (handle clockwise position) and still sufficiently secure the fence (lock handle positioned as shown in C).

When the locking screw (A) is tightened, the fence should be secure.

Installing the Drive Belt

Referring to Figure 6:

1.Place V-belt (A) onto cutterhead pulley (B) and through opening in stand.

2.Pull V-belt down and place onto the motor pulley (C).

If the belt is difficult to roll on the pulley, loosen the motor mounting screws (D). Then raise the motor as high as possible and mount the belt on to both pulleys. Allow the motor to drop and create tension on the belt.

3.Check to make sure that motor pulley and cutterhead pulley are vertically aligned and the V-belt does not contact the sides of the opening in the base. If the pulleys are not aligned, remove belt and adjust the motor pulley in or out on the motor shaft and then re- attach the belt.
