2.Place the miter gauge in the right side groove of the table.

3.Set the blade (1) bevel to the desired bevel angle and tighten the blade bevel lock knob.

USING WOOD FACING ON THE RiP FENCE (FIG. GG)

When performing some special cutting operations, you can add a wood facing (1) to either side of the rip fence (2).

NOTE: Before using wood facing on the rip fence, make sure the auxiliary fences are lowered flush to the table top.

1.Use a smooth straight 3/4 in. thick wood board (1) that is as long as the rip fence.

2.Attach the wood facing to the fence with wood screws (3) through the hole in the fence. A wood fence should be used when ripping material such as thin paneling to prevent the material from catching between the bottom of the fence and the table.
