Good save.
Finding a fence or blade cover will be hard. Best bet are overpriced parts from a dealer or ePay. Expect to pay considerably more for the parts than you paid for the machine.
I picked up a Wadkin surface planer missing the same parts. I managed to get a fence from a Sagar surface planer on its way to the scrappie - and adapted it. I still haven't made up a blade cover.
Please put up a photo or two, including one of the tag.
Cheers, Vann.
