USING THE FENCE

It is not necessary for the fence to be clamped parallel

to the table edge, or miter slot, unless you're using a miter
gauge at the same time. Make sure the bit will not strike the
fence before starting the router. The end of a standard shop
vacuum hose (2-1/2") press fits in the dust port. Accessories
are available to adapt to other hose sizes. If you won't be using
a vacuum, remove the dust port and dust port plate so sawdust
doesn’t buildup inside the fence cavity and cause kickback.

The infeed fence (right fence face) can be turned in

to a zero clearance fence that acts as a chip breaker. To do
this, position the fence at the finished cut position, loosen the
infeed fence slightly and slide it into the bit while its turning.
DON'T make the outfeed fence a zero-clearance fence. You'll
reduce the effectiveness of your vacuum, plus there's no chip
breaking benefit on the outfeed side. See fig. 10. Pairs of
replacement fence faces (202B OR 203B) are available.

You can offset the outfeed fence face for jointing

by using the shims (200FS). The shims are 1/32"
thick and fit between the fence face and the aluminum
fence, with the slots of the shims going over the
T-bolts. See fig. 11
