Miter Detent Override
The miter detent override feature allows the
miter detent action to be locked out, allow-
ing for micro adjustments at any miter
angle. When the desired miter angle is too
close to a standard mitering angle that has
a detent slot, this feature prevents the
wedge on the miter detent lever from slip-
ping into the detent slot on the miter detent
plate.

To Disengage:
