Chisel Parallel to Workpiece

Referring to Figure 12:

The chisel can be adjusted parallel to the
workpiece as follows:

1. Loosen the two clamps (A) that secure the

fence (B).

2. With

the

adjust knob (C), move the fence back

far enough to insert the workpiece (D) between
the chisel (F) and fence (B). Raise the
workpiece hold-down clamp (E) if necessary.

3. With

the

operating handle (G) bring the head

down until the chisel points are almost at the
table level.

4. Bring the fence (B) forward with the adjust

knob

(C) until the front edge of the

workpiece (D) rests against the back surface of
the chisel (F), but do not force.

5. Loosen the chisel lock handle (H). This will

allow the chisel to rotate.

Further adjust the chisel by hand if needed.

6. Tighten

the

lock handle (H) while making sure

the bushing maintains contact with the head
casting to preserve the clearance setting..
