W1701 1HP Shaper
Fence Positioning
The two fence faces are independently adjustable to allow for different shaping tasks. The fence faces can be set at different positions to remove material from the entire edge of the wood stock or set at the same position to shape part of the edge.
To adjust the fence, do these steps:
1.Loosen the fence mount lock handle shown in Figure 18.
2.Adjust the position of the fence by turning the adjustment knob shown in Figure 18.
3.Once the fence is in the desired position, tighten down the fence mount lock handle.

To align the fences so they are parallel with each other, do these steps:
1.Get a quality straightedge that is long enough to span the entire length of the fence assembly.
2.Adjust the fence faces so they are in as close to the same parallel position as possible.
3.Hold the straightedge across both of the fence faces as shown in Figure 19.
4.If the fence faces are not parallel, place shims between the back of the fence face and the face of the fence mount. With some trial and error shim adjusting, parallel fence faces can be achieved.
Table Inserts
Two inserts (Figure 20) are provided allowing for three different opening sizes to be achieved. Use the smallest- size opening for a cutter to reduce wood chips falling into the machine. Using the
