Basic Saw Operations
The miter detent override system locks out the au-
tomatic 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 / Disingaging 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 33).
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 po-
sition (see Figure 33).
3. The turntable is free to rotate.
4. To disengage, lift miter detent levers.
With the table free to rotate, the
miter lock knob must be tight-
ened before attempting any cutting.
