TABLE RAISING LIMIT BLOCKS
A limit block, shown in Figure 17, is mounted
to the rear of each table. It sets the
maximum height the tables can be raised,
and is pre-set at the factory. If adjustment is
ever needed, loosen the hex nut (E-Fig. 17)
and turn the screw (F-Fig. 17) as needed.
Retighten hex nut (E-Fig. 17).
INFEED TABLE ADJUSTMENT
Loosen lock lever (A-Fig. 18) and move table
adjustment arm (B-Fig. 18) to raise or lower
infeed table. Gauge (C-Fig. 18) shows the
distance of travel. Re-tighten lock lever (A-
Fig. 18).
FENCE ADJUSTMENTS
The fence (A-Fig. 19) tilts backward and
forward 45 degrees. It contains a 90-degree
stop (B-Fig. 19) and a 45-degree stop (C-Fig.
19). The stops should be checked for
accuracy with a square or protractor against
the fence, and adjusted if necessary.
To tilt the fence forward, loosen the lock lever
(D-Fig. 19) and tilt the fence using the handle
(E-Fig. 19). Re-tighten lock lever (D-Fig. 19).
To tilt the fence backward, loosen the lock
screw (D-Fig. 19), pivot the stop block (F-Fig.
19) out of the way, and tilt the fence using the
handle (E-Fig. 19). Re-tighten lock screw (D-
Fig. 19).
To move the fence forward or backward
across the table, loosen lock screw (G-Fig.
19), then turn knob (H-Fig. 19). When
desired position is reached, re-tighten lock
screw (G-Fig. 19) securely.
