SETTING THE FENCE

The fence is a two piece adjusting system. Each fence is
independently adjustable to compensate for different
cutting thicknesses. Make sure the fence is square to the work
surface, place a 90° square up against the fence and check it is
perpendicular to the work surface. If adjustment is required
turn the fence adjusting knob (a) until it is correct, see fig
50-51-52.

Cutter block

Adjust the position of the fence assembly to give both the
required cutter protrusion and adequate clearance between
the cutter and the fence. Close up the aluminium fences to
give approximately 5mm clearance around the cutter, see
diagram above.

NOTE: For improved safety the fence assembly has an integral
finger fence system designed to enclose the gap around the
cutting area. Set the cutter block & fence to the desired
position, release the 3 grub screws & slide each finger into
position leaving approximately 6-8mm gap around the cutter
block., see fig 53.

• Opening the access door for the spindle moulder, check
the belt tension. If the belt is loose, using the 16mm socket
spanner loosen the motor bolts and push/pull until the belt
is under tension again, tighten the motor bolts to keep the
tension.

• Check the cutter block regularly for chipped blades and
damage to block i.e cracks in the cutter block.

• When changing the cutter block, remove the cutter
block and place safely away, clean the spindle by
spraying a light coating of oil over the shaft and install
a new cutter block.
