OPERATION

TO LOCK MITER TABLE

See Figure 34.

The miter table slides to let the operator slide the workpiece across the saw. A miter slide lock is mounted on the front of the miter table to lock it in place. The miter slide lock is placed in a slot on the base to align the miter table with the front edge of the saw table. The sliding miter table should be locked for any cut in which the operator prefers a fixed table.

■To lock the miter table with the base projecting to the front, place miter slide lock in the back slot on the base.
