Setting 45° Inward Stop
1. DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER!
2. With the fence positioned over the bed and the
sliding handle locked, loosen the fence tilting handle
and release the limit tab.
3. Tilt the fence towards the table as far as it will go,
then tighten the fence tilting handle.
Note: When you tilt the fence towards the table, it
will stop when it hits the inward stop bolt.
4. Use a combination square to check the angle of the
fence, as shown in Figure 45.
— If the fence leans 45º towards the table, the
inward 45º stop is set correctly; proceed to set the
outward 45º stop (see Page 35).
— If the fence does not lean 45º towards the table,
adjust the inward 45º stop by performing Steps
5–9.
5. Loosen the fence tilting handle, bring the fence to
45º, then tighten the handle just enough to keep the
fence in position.
6. Remove the limit block from the fence bracket
assembly and set it aside.
7. Using two 8mm wrenches, adjust the inward stop
bolt (see Figure 46) until it contacts the fence
at precisely 45º inward, then tighten the jam nut
(where the bolt meets the bracket assembly) while
holding the stop bolt in place. Some trial-and-error
will be required to set this stop correctly.

8. Use two 8mm wrenches to tighten the hex nut on
the inward stop as you hold the stop in place.
9. Put the limit block back, bring the fence back to 90º
and tighten the tilting handle.
