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.
