Extension Cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged. Try to position equipment within reach of the power source. If an extension cord becomes necessary, make sure it is in good condition, and heavy enough to carry the current your machine will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in the line voltage resulting in power loss and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on the cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Remember, the smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Fence Movement
The fence can be moved forward or backward across the width of the table. It also tilts up to 45 degrees forward and has a positive stop at 90 degrees.
The fence assembly should periodically be moved to different positions when edge jointing to distribute wear on the cutterhead knives.
Referring to Figure 13:
To slide the fence forward or backward:
1.Loosen the lock handle (A).
2.Push the entire fence assembly to the desired position, and tighten the locking handle.
To tilt fence forward:
The fence can be tilted forward to any angle down to 45 degrees.
1.Loosen the lock handle (B).
2.Adjust the fence to the desired level down to 45 degrees. Or you can place your reference piece on the table and against the fence, and adjust the fence until the angle of the fence matches the bevel of your gauge piece.
3.Tighten lock handle (B).
To tilt fence backward:
The fence can be tilted backward up to 45° (that is, for a total included angle of 135° from table surface).
Figure 13
1.Loosen lock handle (B).
2.Flip the 90° stop block (C) out of the way.
3.Adjust the fence to the desired angle up to 135 degrees. Or you can place your beveled reference piece on the table and against the fence, adjusting the fence until the angle of the fence matches the bevel of your reference piece.
5. Tighten lock handle (B).
Important: When the tilted operation is finished and the fence is returned to 90°, do not forget to flip the 90° stop block C) back to its original position.
