MITER GAUGE ADJUSTMENT (FIG. M)

1.Make sure that the miter gauge bar (1) will slide freely through the table top grooves.

2.Loosen the lock knob handle (2) and turn the gauge body (3) to set the pointer (4) at 0º on the scale.

3.Make a 90º cut in a scrap piece of wood. Check the cut to see if it is 90º. If not, loosen the lock knob handle (2) and move the miter gauge body until it is square to the miter gauge bar by using a combination square.

If the fence is loose when the handle is in the locked position:

1.Move the handle upward to the unlocked position. Turn the adjusting screw (6) clockwise until the rear clamp is snug.

2.DO NOT turn the adjusting screw more than 1/4 turn at a time.

3.Over-tightening the screw will cause the rip fence to come out of alignment.
