Miter Detent Override

The miter detent override system locks out the automatic detent action. When the desired miter angle is close to a standard detent slot, this feature will hold the detent lever wedge from engagement (i.e., the user wants to be at 44-1/2°, but detent wedge wants to pop into the 45° detent). When the detent override is used, the detent system is disabled and the table will move smoothly to any position within its range.

Engaging the Miter Detent Override

1.Pull up and hold the miter detent lever – the lever is located under the turntable’s front arm (see Figure 41).

2.Press down on the top half of the detent override button and then release hold of the detent lever. The override button will remain in the DOWN position (see Figure 41).

3.The turntable is free to rotate.

!WARNING With the table free to rotate, the miter lock knob must be

tightened before attempting any cutting.

Disengaging the Miter Detent Override

1.Pull up the miter detent lever and the detent override system will automatically disengage. The override button will return to the UP position.

2.Loosen the miter lock knob to allow the table to rotate to a new position – the detent lever is now free to engage the preset detent slots.
