Operation
The following is an example of the setup and operational procedures
when using the fence, collars and starting pin. Please review this
information carefully before turning on the power to avoid damage to
the machine or personal injury.
Shoping or Routing When Using the Fence as a Guide
Using the fence is the safest and most satisfactory method of shaping
and routing and this method should always be used when the work
permits. Almost all straight work con be shaped using the fence as follows:
1. For average work, where a portion of the original edge of the work
is not touched by the cutter, both the front and rear fences are in a
straight line, as shown in Figure 20.
2. When the operation removes the entire edge of the work, e.g., in
jointing or making a full bead, the shaped edge will not be
supported by the rear fence when both fences are in line, as shown
in Figure 21. In this case, the work should be advanced to the
position shown in Figure 21 and stopped. Then turn the machine off.
3. The outfeed fence and infeed fence should then be adjusted to
contact the work, as shown in Figure 22. The outfeed fence will
then be in line with the cutting circle. Refer to Figure 12 which
illustrates "Adjusting the Fence."
NOTE; When cutter rotation is reversed from that shown in
Figures 20, 21 and 22, feed direction will also be reversed
and infeed and outfeed fence identification will reverse.
4. Avoid heavy cuts. Begin by positioning cutter and fence to remove
only a small portion of the final cutter form. Increase cutter
exposure with each successive pass by moving fence and/or cutter
height until desired form is cut on workpiece. After gaining
experience with a particular cutter, you will learn how many passes
with accompanying fence and cutter adjustments are necessary to
produce a safe and satisfactory result. Remember, taking loo great
a cut or feeding the workpiece too fast can cause damage to the
piece and loss of control with possible injury.
5. When beginning the shaping operation, apply most pressure to that
portion of the workpiece supported by the infeed fence taking care
to keep your hands safely away from the cutter. When more than
