Sounds like the fence on my FS41E: some wax will go a long way to help with this.
I assume the fence needs to be nearly all the way forward for it not to hit the back when opening the lid. This is how mine currently works.
There is a detent that locks the fence in the forward position. Should use the locking lever in addition, just to be safe.
I cant get the lever on the inlet table to budge. Manual and online videos show it easily moving up and down. Suggestions?
Are you referring to the level adjustment?
There is this metal guard that sits behind the fence over the cutter. Is it supposed to attach to something? If so I may be missing the hardware to attach it.
It is attached to the back of the fence and covers the cutter head through the travel of the fence. The one on my machine has a small section at the end that is hinged.
I also have this long silver pin that is like 12" long. I have no idea what it is for.
