▶ Miter Detent Override
The miter detent override system locks out
the automatic detent action. When the
desired miter angle is close to a standard
detent slot, this feature will hold the detent
lever wedge from engagement (i.e., the user
wants to be at 44-1/2°, but detent wedge
wants to pop into the 45° detent). When the
detent override is used, the detent system is
disabled and the table will move smoothly to
any position within its range.
▼ ENGAGING THE MITER DETENT
OVERRIDE
1.
Pull up and hold the miter detent lever – the
lever is located under the turntable’s front
arm (see Figure 41).
2.
Press down on the top half of the detent
override button and then release hold of the
detent lever. The override button will
remain in the DOWN position (see Figure
41).
3.
The turntable is free to rotate.
With the table free to
rotate, the miter lock
knob must be tightened before attempting
any cutting.
▼ DISENGAGING THE MITER DETENT
OVERRIDE
1.
Pull up the miter detent lever and the detent
override
system
will
automatically
disengage. The override button will return
to the UP position.

Loosen the miter lock knob to allow the
table to rotate to a new position – the
detent lever is now free to engage the
preset detent slots.
