OPERATION

TO LOCK MITER TABLE

See Figure 34.

The miter table slides to let the operator slide the workpiece across the saw. A miter slide lock is mounted on the front of the miter table to lock it in place. The miter slide lock is placed in a slot on the base to align the miter table with the front edge of the saw table. The sliding miter table should be locked for any cut in which the operator prefers a fixed table.

To lock the miter table with the base projecting to the front, place miter slide lock in the back slot on the base.

To lock the miter table with the base projecting to the back, place miter slide lock in the front slot on the base.

WARNING:

Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and working properly to avoid serious personal injury.

It is recommended you make test cuts on scrap wood.

Remove the rip fence by lifting the locking handle.

Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.

Set the miter fence to 90˚ with the quick-stop or the miter scale.

Make sure the miter fence won't touch the blade while feeding the wood. Make a trial pass of the miter table. The miter fence should not contact the blade. Loosen the adjusting clamp to move the fence if needed.

Place a support (the same height as saw table) behind the saw for the cut work.
