ADJUSTING THE TABLE INSERT

Place a straight edge (B) across the table at both ends of the table insert (Fig. 42). The table insert (A) should always be level with the table. To adjust, turn the adjusting screws (C), with a supplied hex wrench.

NOTE: You can store the hex wrenches in the miter gauge handle when not in use. Remove the top cap

MITER GAUGE OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

Insert the miter gauge bar into the miter gauge slot on the table. Attach the washer and lock handle (A) Fig. 43 to the miter gauge bar.

The miter gauge is equipped with adjustable index stops at 90° and 45° right and left. You can make adjustments to the index stops by tightening or loosening the three adjusting screws (B) Fig. 48 with the supplied Hex wrench

To rotate the miter gauge, loosen the lock knob (A) Fig. 44 and move the body of the miter gauge (C).

The miter gauge body will stop at 90° and 45° both right and left. To rotate the miter gauge body past these points, move the stop link (D) Fig. 44 up and out of the way.

The head of the miter gauge pivots on a special tapered screw (G) Fig. 45. If the miter gauge head does not pivot freely, or pivots too freely, adjust it by loosening the set screw (H) Fig. 45, and turning the screw (G) in or out.

NOTE: Tighten screw (H) after you make the adjustment.

Your miter gauge is equipped with a plate (E) Fig. 45 that fits into the T-Slot groove in the table. This allows the miter gauge head to go off the front edge of the table without falling, allowing for a longer cut off capacity.
