A miter is an angled crosscut. Miters are usually cut in the same manner as crosscuts, using the miter gauge and a predetermined mark on the workpiece.

The miter fence provides greater workpiece support than the miter gauge alone, especially for longer workpieces.

Simply loosen the lock levers shown in =`^li\,+, slide the miter fence in the needed direction for the cutting operation, then tighten the levers. Make sure the miter fence does not contact the blade guard or blade when moved through its full range of travel.
