JOINTING BEVELED STOCK (continued)

See Figure 16.
1.  Loosen the beveling lock (A) by rotating the handle 

counterclockwise.

2.  Tip the fence toward the table as far as it will go. 

It will stop when the fence contacts the inward 45° 

stop bolts. 

3.  Retighten the beveling lock. Use a combination 

square or carpenters square to check the tilt angle. 

If it needs to be adjusted, refer to “Calibrating the 

45°/90° Stops” on page 14.

When jointing with the fence tilted 

inward at 45° feed the stock carefully to 

ensure that the workpiece does not become trapped 

between the fence and table, which can create a 

dangerous situation.

Disconnect the machine from the 

power source before making any 

adjustments!
To ensure precise and accurate results, the 45° and 90° 

Stops must accurately position the fence in relation to 

the table surface. 

1.  Loosen the beveling lock by rotating the handle 

counterclockwise. 

2.  Ensure the 45°/90° Stop is fully-engaged and locked 

in position.

3.  Using a carpenter’s square, with one edge flat on 

the table and the other against the fence, check 

to see if the fence and table are in square. If any 

adjustment is needed, proceed to step #4. 

4.  Loosen the retaining nut located on the 90° Stop 

rod.   

5.  Use a flat head screwdriver to adjust the position 

of the Stop rod. Refer to Figure 17. Turning the rod 

clockwise reduces the fence angle while rotating it 

counterclockwise increases the fence angle.

6.  Re-tighten the retaining nut and re-lock the beveling 

lock. Then re-check the angle using the carpenter’s 

square. Continue to adjust as needed.
