Jointer Fence Adjustment
Referring to Figure 18:
The jointer fence (A) can be adjusted from a full
forward position (90º to table, corresponding to a
scale reading of 0º) to a full back-tilted position of

forward. Using a square, determine if the fence
is 90º to the table.
If adjustment is required:
2. Loosen jam nut (E) and adjust stop screw (D)
in or out until a fence postion of 90º with
respect to the table is achieved.
3. Secure the jam nut (E).
Check the scale indication. If the indicator (C) does
not point to zero:
4. Loosen screw (B), adjust accordingly, then
retighten screw.
Fence 45º Adjustment
Verify that the fence and scale indication is
accurate at 90º as outlined in Fence 90º
Adjustment above.

fence is 135º to the table.
If adjustment is required:
2. Loosen jam nut (G) and adjust stop screw (F)
