To adjust the miter gauge so it is perpendicu-
lar to the saw blade:
1. Slide the miter gauge into the miter gauge
slot to the left of the blade.
Parallelism
Align the fence alongside the miter slot as shown
in
Figure 86, and lock it down.
If the fence is not parallel to the miter slot:
1. Loosen the fence lock handle.
2. Remove the fence from the saw and adjust
the set screws on the rear side of the front
bracket shown in
Figure 85.
3. Make very minor adjustments and recheck
by reclamping the fence along the miter slot
after each adjustment. Keep in mind that a
small turn of the set screw can make a large
difference over the length of the fence. Be
sure clamping pressure is still adequate.
Figure 86. Example of fence aligned parallel to
miter slot.
5. Loosen the jam nut and adjust the stop screw
until it is seated against the shaft (see Figure
87 for part locations), then tighten the jam
nut.
6 Loosen the screw on the front of the miter
bar, adjust the pointer to 0°, then tighten the
screw.
7. To adjust to 45°, follow Steps 1-5 using an
adjustable square set to 45°.
8. Double-check your adjustments at 45° and
90° to assure that you have accurately set
your miter gauge.
9. To fit the miter bar tighter in the miter slot,
turn the adjustment set screws shown in
Figure 87 clockwise in small increments, and
test fit between adjustments until the miter
gauge fits your expectations.

0° and there is no space between the square
