OPERATION

TO use the miter gauge

See Figure 26.

The miter gauge provides greater accuracy in angled cuts. For very close tolerances, test cuts are recommended.

There are two miter gauge channels, one on either side of the blade. When making a 90° cross cut, you can use either miter gauge channel. When making a beveled cross cut (the blade tilted in relation to the table) the miter gauge should be located in the slot on the right so that the blade is tilted away from the miter gauge and your hands.

The miter gauge can be turned 60° to the right or left.

Loosen the lock knob.

With the miter gauge in the miter gauge slot, rotate the gauge until the desired angle is reached on the scale.

Retighten the lock knob.

TO use the sliding table extension

See Figure 27.

Increase the length of the saw table by using the table extension.

Set the rip fence to 13 in.

Pull the front table locking lever toward you to unlock the lever.

Slide the table extension to the desired width.

NOTE: Use the scale on the front rail when a specific width is desired.

Once the extension table is set to the desired width, relock the lever by pushing the lever back towards the saw base.
