Infeed Table Height Adjustment

Refer to Figures 16 – 18.

Initial (Coarse) Adjustment:

1.Loosen the rear thumb screw (D) and the lock knob (B).

2.Raise or lower the height adjustment handle

(C)until the scale (A, Fig. 16 and Figure 17) reads approximately the desired depth of cut.

If you can't adjust to zero or 1/8", see the

Helpful Hint below.

Fine Adjustment:

3. Turn the locking handle (B) until it is snug.

4. Rotate the height adjustment handle (C) until the scale reads exact. Clockwise raises the table, counterclockwise lowers the table.

Note: The height adjustment handle (C) has a fine adjustment of 1/16" travel per rotation.

5. When set, retighten the thumb screw (D).

Important: For normal operations, the depth of cut should never exceed 1/8", except for rabbetting operations.

Helpful Hint: Occasionally you will find that you cannot set the coarse adjustment all the way up to zero or all the way down to 1/2" on the Depth of Cut scale (Figure 17) when raising or lowering the handle (C, Fig. 16). When this happens:

With the lock knob (B, Fig. 16) unlocked, rotate the height adjustment handle (C, Fig. 16) a few times, then raise or lower it. Once you are able to reach the zero or 1/2” setting (Figure 17), you will again be able to swing the handle (C) through the full range.

Infeed Table Travel Limiter

Referring to Figure 19:

The infeed table travel limiter located on the back of the table sets the upper and lower range for the infeed table height adjustment and should not require any adjustments. For infeed table height adjustment refer to the preceding section.
