13Extension CordsMake sure your extension cord is in goodcondition. When using an extension cord, be sureto use one heavy enough to carry the current yourmachine will draw. An undersized cord will causea drop in the line voltage resulting in power lossand overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size touse depending on the cord length and nameplateampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heaviergauge. Remember, the smaller the gauge number,the heavier the cord.AdjustmentsDrive Belt TensionSee step 4 of Installing the Drive Belt.Fence MovementThe fence can be moved forward or backwardacross the width of the table (B, Fig. 11). It also tiltsup to 45 degrees forward and has a positive stopat 90 degrees.To slide fence forward or backwardWhen edge jointing, the fence assembly shouldperiodically be moved to different positions todistribute wear on the cutterhead knives.1. Loosen the locking handle (A, Fig. 11).2. Push the entire fence assembly (B, Fig. 11) tothe desired position, and tighten the lockinghandle.To tilt fence forwardThe fence can be tilted forward to any angle downto 45 degrees.1. Loosen locking handle (C, Figure 12).2. Move the lever forward (A, Figure 12) to thedesired angle down to 45 degrees. Or you canplace your reference piece on the table andagainst the fence, and adjust the fence untilthe angle of the fence matches the bevel ofyour gauge piece.3. Tighten locking handle (C, Figure 12).To tilt fence backward1. The fence can be tilted backward up to 45°(that is, for a total included angle of 135° fromtable surface).2. Loosen locking handle (C, Fig. 12).3. Flip the 90° stop block (D, Fig. 12) out of theway.4. Move the lever (B, Fig. 12) back to the desiredangle up to 135 degrees.
