Changing tools (fig.20)
To change tools, the whole pusher system can be cleared by flipping it over to the back of the
spindle fence.
- Simply push the horizontal rod of the woodpushers down a little and lift the cover plate up.
Now the system can be flipped over to the back. To put it back in place simply lift the cover
plate up again to clear it from the lock situated at the top, back side of the fence and push the
system to the front.
The cover plate will lock itself automatically and prevent the woodpushers from flipping over
to the back.
A feeder is the safest way to work with a spindle moulder. The spindle-moulder table can be
equiped with a table extension and a pivoting feeder support. These enable the user to clear
the table simply by pivoting the complete feeder under the table extension without having to
dismantle it each time when the saw or planer is used.

Adjustments of the woodpushers (fig.21)
In order to operate the spindle in a safe way, some adjustments must be made on the
woodpushers.
- Adjustment of the fence plates as close as possible to the outer tool diameter.
- Adjustment of the horizontal pusher according to the width of the workpiece.
- Adjustment of the vertical pusher according to the height of the workpiece.
When both pushers are correctly adjusted, there is enough pressure exerted to hold
the workpiece against the fences.
The horizontal woodpusher is to be set in such a way that the push stick can be
used. Therefore, the screen of the horizontal pusher should not be set lower than 10 mm
above the table.
