TO LOCK MITER TABLE

See Figure 39.

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.
