The fence on the Model H2801 can be adjusted
to cut various angles from -45˚ to 45˚. The fence
can be tilted -45˚ toward the cutterhead for better
stability with narrow workpieces, or the fence can
be tilted to 45˚ away from the cutterhead for cut-
ting large angles. To adjust the fence angle:
1. Loosen the lock knobs on both sides of the
fence.
2. The angle gauge shown in Figure 8 is
behind the left end of the fence.
3. Behind the right end of the fence is a positive
stop pin (shown in Figure 9) to stop the
fence at 45˚, 0˚, and -45˚.
4. To set the positive stops, use a protractor to
set the fence at each point. Adjust the screw
on each stop point so the head of the screw
rests on the positive stop pin.
5. To tilt the fence, pull the positive stop pin and
tilt the fence to the desired angle.
6. To lock the fence, tighten the fence lock
knobs.

Cutterhead Guard
The cutterhead guard (shown in Figure 10) pro-
tects the operator from the moving cutterhead
when the machine is running. Always keep the
cutterhead guard working properly and in good,
working condition. To check the cutterhead
guard:
1. Slide a
1
⁄4" thick piece of wood over the cut-
terhead and between the guard and the
fence. The guard should open and allow the
piece of wood to slide through. When the
piece of wood clears the guard, the guard
must then automatically return to its original
position.
2. Completely open the cutterhead guard until it
stops, then release it. The cutterhead guard
should always spring back to its original
position.
If the cutterhead guard does not operate
properly, the spring must be replaced or
adjusted! If this caution is ignored, personal
injury may result.
