10.0 Adjustments
10.1 Table positioning/depth of cut
The outfeed table (the left hand one when facing
the machine) is set to be level with the knives at
the highest point in their revolution.
The infeed and outfeed tables are preset at the
factory to be aligned with the cutterhead.
Rotate the knob beneath the infeed table (#2,
Figure 10-1) to raise or lower the infeed table for
desired depth of cut, according to the scale on
the front of the table.

10.2 Fence positioning
10.2.1 Forward and back
1. Turn machine OFF.
2. Loosen the fence sliding handle (#1, Figure
10-2).
Note: The handles are spring-loaded: if you
find it necessary to reposition a handle, pull
it outwards, turn the handle to the new
position, and release it.
3. Slide the fence to the desired position. The
fence can be positioned over the blade so
that only the desired width of the blade is
exposed. Make sure the exposed width
matches that of the workpiece.
4. Tighten the fence sliding handle so that the
fence is secure.

10.2.2 Bevel angles
The fence can be positioned to joint the wood at
any angle from 45° inward to 45° outward.
When “beveling” – cutting the entire edge of a
work piece to an angle – several passes may be
required due to the depth of cut needed.
“Chamfering” refers to removing only the corner
of the edge of the workpiece. Normally a
chamfer is made in one pass, so a 1/8 in. (3mm)
depth of cut is made.
1. Turn machine OFF.
2. Turn the fence tilt handle counterclockwise
to loosen it.
3. Manually tilt the fence to desired angle
inward or outward. If you have set up the
machine as described in sect. 8.0, the fence
will hit the stops inward or outward at 45°
and measurement should not be necessary
(Figure 10-2). However, it is advisable to
confirm the settings with a machinist square,
or similar angle gauge before commencing
