Adjusng the Fence Faces and Bit Guard
To opmize work piece support and to maximize safety,
the fence faces will have to be adjusted before using the
fence.
1. With your fence located where you intend to use
it, loosen the four knobs shown in gure 3.
2. Slide the fence faces unl they create a small gap
around your bit and reghten the four knobs.
3. To ensure safe operaon and to prevent damage
to your fence faces, ensure the fence faces clear
the diameter of the router bit before starng the
motor.
Once the fence faces are set, it is important to set the bit
guard height. This is done by loosening the bit guard
height adjustment knobs and sliding it up or down before
reghtening.

Squaring Fence Face to Table
This fence will arrive pre-squared from the factory;
however, several factors can cause it to go out of square.
It is relavely easy to adjust the fence back to square if
needed following the steps below:
1. Loosen all six of the ¼”-20 jam nuts
2. Using a square, determine where the fence has to
be adjusted and use the ¼”-20 set screws to
adjust it one way or the other
3. Holding the set screw in place with a hex key,
reghten the jam nut to lock the set screw
posion in place.
4. Repeat along the length of the fence unl all six
set screws are locked in posion and the fence is
square to the table top.
