NOTE: The slots for the stop pin and the graduations are |
|
|
|
manufactured to very close tolerances which provide |
|
|
|
accuracy for average woodworking. In some cases where |
|
|
|
extreme accuracy is required, when making angle cuts, for |
|
|
|
example, make a trial cut and then recheck it. | SQUARE | _ | INDICATOR |
If necessary, the miter gauge head can be swiveled slightly |
|
|
|
to compensate for any inaccuracy. |
|
|
|
1. Loosen the "knob" and pull "stop pin" OUT. |
|
| _18LOCK |
2. Swivel the head ... position it at "0" ... push the |
|
| |
|
|
| |
stop pin IN . .. lock the handle. |
|
| I |
3. The HEAD should be square with the Bar and the |
|
|
|
pointer should point to "0". Readjust the pointer if |
|
|
|
necessary. |
|
|
|
4. If the head is not square with the bar, adjustments are |
|
|
|
required. |
|
|
|
A. Loosen the "knob" (1) and the "two screws" (2) |
|
|
|
B. Position the HEAD square with the BAR using a |
|
|
|
combination square. |
|
|
|
C.PUSH the STOP PIN into the slot in the head at
"0"... push the pin into the slot and twist it. Lock the knob.
D.Recheck with the square. If the head is still not square, loosen the screws (2) and readjust the
INDICATOR BLOCK. |

E. With the head | square with the bar | and the pin | WRENCH | 2"==_ |
pushed into the | slot adjust the pointer | (3) to point |
|
|
tO "0".
F.The miter gauge head must rest on top of the bar without being able to move up and down ... yet it must swivel freely.
G.The swiveling movement of the head can be
adjusted by tightening or loosening the setscrew (4)
•..usingthe 1/8 in. setscrew wrench.
NOTE: The setscrew is located inside of the head. To reach it, swivel the head to 60 degrees anai turn the miter gauge upside down.
HEELING | ADJUSTMENT | or PARALLELISM |
| |
OF SAWBLADE TO MITER GAUGE GROOVE |
| |||
While cutting, the material must move in a straight line |
| |||
PARALLEL to the SAWBLADE ... therefore both the |
| |||
miter gauge GROOVE and the RIP FENCE must be |
| |||
PARALLEL | to the SAWBLADE. |
|
| |
If the sawblade IS NOT parallel to the miter gauge groove, | HARK I'XI'ON TOOTH | |||
the blade will bind at one end of the cut. (This is known as | ||||
| ||||
"HEELING"). |
|
|
| |
To check for parallelism: |
|
| ||
WARNING - FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH |

OUTLET. |
|
|
| |
1. Raise blade all the way up... | raise blade guard. |
| ||
2.Mark as "x'" on one of the teeth which is SET (bent) to the LEFT.
3.Place the head of a combination square in the
GROOVE ... ad)ust blade of square so that it just
touches the tip of of the MARKED tooth.
4.Move square to REAR, rotate blade to see if MARKED tooth again touches blade of square.
5.If tooth touches square at FRONT and REAR ...
sawblade is PARALLEL to MITER GAUGE GROOVE.
