Adjustments
Miter Gauge
NOTE: The graduations are manufac-tured
to very close tolerances which pro-vide
ample accuracy for fine woodworking. In
some cases where extreme accuracy is
required, when making angle cuts, for
example, make a trial cut and then recheck it.
There are adjustable screw stops for the
stop pin at 0° and 45° right and left
positions for conveniently setting the miter
gauge to cut miters at these standard
angles.
Adjusting Stop Screws
A. Loosen lock nut of screw for 0° stop.
B. Place 90° square against the miter
gauge bar and the face of the miter
gauge head.
C. If adjustment is needed loosen handle
of miter gauge. Adjust miter gauge
head flush to square. Tighten lock knob.
D. Adjust stop screw until it rests against
the stop pin and tighten lock nut.
E. Adjust 45°, left and right using a 45°
triangle or a protractor of a square using
the above procedure.
The miter gauge head should swivel
smoothly on the bar after the knob is
loosened. To adjust this swivel movement:
A. Loosen the knob.
B. Loosen set screw with a 2.5mm hex
wrench.
C. If the head is too loose turn the flat-head
screw in a clockwise direction.
If the head is too tight and will not swivel
smoothly turn the flathead screw
counterclockwise.
D. Tighten set screw.
WARNING: For your own safety,

turn switch “OFF” and remove

plug from power source outlet

before making any adjustments.
