TO ADJUST THE MITER GAUGE

See Figures 52 - 53.

You can set the miter gauge at 0º and plus or minus 45º with the miter gauge stop pin and adjustable stop screws.

NOTE: The miter gauge provides close accuracy in angled cuts. For very close tolerances, test cuts are recommended.

To adjust stop screws:

Loosen the lock knob and pull out on stop pin to rotate miter gauge base past stop screws.

Loosen the lock nut of the 0º stop screw at the stop pin with a wrench.

Place a 90º square against the miter gauge rod and the miter gauge base.

If the rod is not square, loosen the lock knob, adjust the rod, and retighten the knob.

Adjust the stop screw until it rests against the stop pin and tighten lock nut.

To adjust miter gauge base:

The miter gauge base should swivel smoothly on the bar after the knob is loosened. If adjustment is required:

Loosen the lock knob.

Loosen set screw.

If the base is too loose, turn the phillips head screw in a clockwise direction. If the base is too tight, turn the flat head screw in a counterclockwise direction.

Retighten set screw.
