Fence operation
The PARKEN manual fence can be operated in two modes
(
a)
continous operation
in this mode, winding the crank in either direction will move
fence towards or away from knife. The knob on the fence can be locked
in any position for cutting. The machine is shipped in this mode.
(
b) Incremental operation
in this mode, the fence moves a preset distance as set on the
dial surrounding the crank handle. Once the desired thickness of cut is
set all the operator needs to do is to reverse the crank against the stop
and then wind forwards. This will move the fence a preset distance
forward and then stop to cut. This mode is selected as follows:-
Rotate the crank until the zero graduation is facing upwards
pull the spring loaded knob closest to the center of crank unit
outwards. Turn the knob ½ a turn in either direction to prevent
knob from returning to index wheel. Screw the other knurled knob
inbetween 2 stops located on the graduated dial. Release the 2 “L”
levers/knobs at rear of dial. Rotate dial to desired size then tighten
knobs. The major graduations on dial represent 10mm of fence
travel.
Alternate clockwise/anti-clockwise rotation of cranck handle will
index fence in steps as selected. To return fence to fixed position
release knurled knob from against the stops, and set the graduated
dial to zero. Rotate the spring loaded knob to origional position and
move the crank handle to re engage the knob in the ratchet wheel.
