MITER GAUGE ADJUSTMENT (FIG. P)
1. Make sure that the miter gauge wili slide freely through
both table grooves.
2. Loosen the lock knob {1). Set the pointer (2) to the 90°
mark on the scale.
3. Make a 90° cut in a piece of scrap wood. Check cut
piece to see if it was cut at 90°. If it is not, continue to
adjust the miter gauge body (3) until the wood piece
is cut at 90°. Refer to OPERATION section for cutting
instructions.
The fence (1) is moved by lifting up on the handle (2)
and sliding the fence to the desired location. Pushing
down on the handle locks the fence in position.
Position the fence on the right side of the table, and
along one edge of the miter gauge grooves.
Lock the fence handle. The fence should be parallel
with the miter gauge groove.
If adjustment is needed to make the fence parallel to
the groove, do the following:
• Loosen the two screws (3} and lift up on the handle (2).
• Hold the fence bracket (4) firmly against the front
of the saw table. Move the far end of the fence
until it is parallel with the miter gauge groove.
• Tighten both screws and push the handle to lock.
If fence is loose when the handle is in the locked
(downward) position, do the following:
• Move the handle (2) upward and turn the adjusting
screw (5) clockwise until the rear clamp is snug.
Do not turn the adjusting screw more than 1/4
turn at a time.
• Over-tightening the adjusting screw will cause
the fence to come out of alignment.
RIP FENCE INDICATOR ADJUSTMENT (FIG. Q)
1. The rip fence indicator (6) points to the
measurement scale (8). The scale shows the
distance from the side of the fence to the nearest
side of the blade.

difference between the measurement and the
indicator, adjust the indicator (6).
3. Loosen the screw (7) and slide the indicator to the
correct measurement on the scale. Tighten screw
and remeasure with the rule.
