ASSEMBLING THE FENCE

ASSEMBLING THE FENCE (Figs. 5 and 6)

1. Insert the pins molded into the top of the vacuum

port (13) into the holes on the rear of the aluminum
fence (11), as shown in Fig. 5.

2. From the underside of the fence, insert two #10-32 x

5/8

″ countersunk machine screws (33) up through

the holes in the bottom of the fence and vacuum
port. Secure in place with two #10-32 KEPS nuts (24)
(Fig. 5).

3. Place the fence right-side-up on a flat surface and

align the counterbored holes in the fence facings (12)
with the slotted holes in the fence. The counterbored
side of the facings should face OUT (Fig. 6).

4. Attach both fence facings (12) to the front of the fence,

using two 1/4-20 x 1

″ carriage bolts (34) and two large

clamping knobs (14) for each fence facing (Fig. 6).

5. From the front of the overhead guard (15), insert two

1/4-20 x 1

1

2

″ carriage bolts (31) through the holes in the

guard. Slide a spacer (16) on each bolt so that the tabs
on the spacers fit into the slots on the guard.

6. From the front of the fence, insert the carriage bolts

through the holes in the top center of the fence. The
tabs on the spacers will fit into the top channel on the
fence. Secure in place with a small clamping knob (17)
on each bolt (Fig. 6).

NOTE: To simplify installation of the router adapter plate
and router, do not install the fence onto the router table
at this time.
