Using the Miter Gauge with “T” Bar

The miter gauge is equipped with a “T” shaped bar EE which engages under retaining tabs DD in the table’s miter gauge slots CC (Fig. 52).

The tabs keep the miter gauge in the slot and will support it when pulled beyond the front of table as shown in figure 52. When using the miter gauge for 90° cross-cuts, the maximum cut capacity is 11-1/2 inches for up to 2 x 12 lumber (actual width= 11-1/4 inches).

The bar must be engaged under slot tabs before attempting any cutting operation using the miter gauge.

Using The Miter Gauge

CROSSCUTTING, MITER CUTTING, BEVEL CUTTING, COM- POUND MITER CUTTING and when RABBETING across the end of a narrow workpiece, the MITER GAUGE is used.

!For your own safety, always observe the WARNING following safety precautions in addition to

the safety instructions on Pages 4-10.

Never make these cuts freehand (without using the miter gauge or other auxiliary devices) because the blade could bind in the cut and cause a KICKBACK or cause your fingers or hand to slip into the blade.

Always tighten the miter gauge handle securely when in use.
