Tapering & Edge Bevelling
During this procedure the longitudinal edges of a work-piece are bevelled or
tapered to the required angle.
To adjust the angle of the fence, loosen locking lever A on the fence bracket,
Fig. 11.17, and position the fence to the required angle. This adjustment will
bring the fence away from the table as shown in Fig. 11.17. To bring the
fence back to meet the table, loosen the locking levers B on both sides of
the bracket and lower into position.

Edge planing
When edge planing small stock as shown in Fig. 11.15 the bridge guard
should be positioned above the work piece to guard as much of the cutter
block as possible. When edge planing larger or tall pieces the bridge
guard should be positioned against the table as shown in Fig. 11.16. In
this instance, if the guard was above the timber the gap left between the
cutter block and guard would be too large and therefore not offer enough
protection. There is no specific rule as to the position of the bridge guard
when edge planing and user discretion must be exercised to ensure the
safest possible position based on these guidelines.
Feed the workpiece across the cutter block as described for surface planing,
taking extra care to not let the hands pass over the cutter block. Pressure
should be applied sideways to keep the timber against the fence, ensuring
an accurate cut.
