Adjusting the Mi ter Gauge Referring to Figure 24:
1. Loosen the lock handle (B) to allow the miter
body (C) to rotate freely. Position the m iter
body at 90° so the positive detent secures its
position. Tighten the lock handle (B) to hold the
miter body in position.
2. If the pointer (A) requires adjustment, loosen
the screw under the pointer with a screwdriver.
Adjust the pointer to 90° on the scale, t hen
firmly tighten the adjustment screw.
To change angles on the miter gauge:
3. Loosen the lock handle (B) and rotate the miter
body to the desired angle as indicated by the
scale. Secure in position by tighteni ng the lock
handle .
Rip Fence Adjustment Referring to Figure 25:
1. For adjustments, position the fence to t he right
of the blade, parallel with the miter gauge slot.
2. Place the rear clamp (A) of the fence o n the
back rail of the table, and lower the front end
over the front rail (E). Push the handle (F)
down to lock.
3. To change the position of the fence, lift up on
the handle to unlock, and sl ide t he fence to the
desired position, then push the handle down to
lock.
4. To check the rip fence adj ustment, place the
fence along one edge of the miter gauge
groove, and lock the handle. It s hould be
parallel to the miter groove to provide accurate
cuts.
If an adjustment is needed to make it parallel:
1. Loosen the two hex bolts (C) o n the top of t he
rip fence, and lift up on the handle (F).
2. Adjust t he fence ( B) so it is par allel to the m iter
gauge slot and lock the handle (F) into positio n.
3. Make sure the fence (B) is paralle l to the slot
and tighten the two hex bolts (C) securely.
4. Unlock t he fence handle (F) and slide t he fe nce
left and right, then reposition it against the miter
gauge slot again and lock into positio n to
double check its alignment.
Failure to properly align t he fence can cause
“kickback” and serious injury could occur.
