MITRE GAUGE

Miter gauge supplied with saw is equipped with individually adjustable index stops at 0° (A)
and 45° (B), right and left.

Face of miter gauge has two holes for purpose of attaching auxiliary facing.

Miter gauge is accurately constructed for precision work. Miter gauge is guided through T-
slot with a roller guide mounted at front of guide bar. Roller guide adds to miter gauge's
stability and prevents the guide bar from leaving the T-slot.

To operate miter gauge, simply loosen locking knob and
move miter gauge to desired angle. The miter gauge will
stop at 0° (A) and 45° (B), both right and left. To position
miter gauge past these points, simply pull out gauge stop
rod (C). Position miter gauge at desired angle and tighten
locking knob.

Be positive the edge of workpiece next to the face of
miter gauge is straight and tight against miter gauge so
that the workpiece does not rock or rotate. Always use
both hands when operating the miter gauge.

The miter gauge is used for crosscutting, compound miter
cutting, rabbeting, bevel cutting and dadoing.
Checking/Setting 0° Stop
1. Disconnect and lockout power to the saw!
2. Slide the miter gauge into the t-slot on the table, and verify the
stop rod is pushed all the way into the miter gauge.
3. Adjust the miter gauge (A) so the 0° stop screw rests against
the stop rod.
4. Place a 90° square (B) evenly against the face of the miter
gauge and the blade (C).

If the square touches the miter gauge face and the body of the
blade (not the teeth) evenly at the same time, then the miter
gauge is square to the blade and the 0° stop is set correctly.

If the square does not touch the miter gauge face and blade body evenly at the same time,
proceed to next step.
5. Loosen the hex nut (jam nut) that secures the 0° stop screw and adjust the stop screw until it
is seated against the stop rod while the square is evenly touching the miter gauge face and
the blade body, then tighten the hex nut.
